SHAMROCK HOUSE 2022/23
It has been a really busy year for Shamrocks! The main event of the year for Shamrock House was our Charity Fundraising Day. We gave assemblies to both Upper School and Junior House, presenting a detailed look into the work of our two charities, Cancer Research UK and The Teddy Trust Charities. There were lots of exciting activities on the day itself: a cake sale; treasure hunt; egg and spoon race; guess the number of teddies in the jar; guess the name of the hare and hoopla ring tossing game – this one was particularly popular!
One of our parents also very kindly organised a very successful teddy bear collection, with an entire car load
of teddies being donated directly to The Teddy Trust!
Well done to all of Shamrock House – we couldn’t have done it all without you!

THISTLE HOUSE 2022/23
We thoroughly enjoyed our time as Thistle House captains. Winning the shield, celebrating Thistle winning the weekly total, and having fun on Thistle Day are some of our fondest memories. There have been plenty of happy times, such as winning the Sports Day shield and the recollections of us screaming our hearts out when we heard Shamrock had been placed second, which meant that Thistle House had come first!
Sadly, it has to end - it is our time to pass on this great role to someone else. We wish we did not have to leave but all good things come to an end and it’s time to move on! We would love to see the rest of you go on
to achieve more and we know that you will be in capable hands with the new House captains whom you choose. We promise to never forget all the Thistles - you are all amazing!
Goodbye and good luck. Just remember...GOOOO THISTLE!
Emily D and Johanna J – Thistle House Captains
