Over 5 ‘skirmishes’, the red team, heroically led by Tim, managed to overcome the blue team. A great time was had by all. A sun lit pine forest in the heart of the Chilterns was the scene for over 50 boarders to test their paintballing skills. Fortunately everyone returned home unscathed, even Mr Magee who kindly led this memorable trip! Medals all round! Football crazy Towards the end of April, boarders in School House enjoyed a football and pizza social on the MUSA. Over 70 students were involved with teams organised by Ludo (who surprisingly led an all conquering team!) and other Upper 6th students. On a sunny Sunday in May, a group of 20 boarders visited the historic Warwick Castle. As well as the castle itself, there was the opportunity to see a falconry display, practise archery and visit the town of Warwick. Everyone had a lovely time. Lasertag As part of the boarding enrichment programme offered throughout the year, a group of Lower 6th boarders recently learned how to iron a shirt. Led by one of the Assistant Boarding Housemasters, the students were taught the proper technique for ironing a shirt and left the session feeling more confident in their ability to master this basic life skill.
