Last one of term...

Term is nearly at an end and the summer beckons, however, the boys are still busy heregoing into the final few days.

Last week saw the naming of the Boarding House as Fry House, named after CB Fry the famous sportsman, diplomat, writer, publisher and old Reptonian. We were very fortunate to have both the Headmaster of Repton UK, Mr Robert Holroyd, but also the Chairman of the Governers of Repton UK, Mr Jonathan Fry, the grandson of CB Fry, present with the latter doing the honours of officially naming the House.

This weekend we have also spent time at Dubai Mall and there are a few photos here of the boys ice skating! A few of the boys had never done it before, but from what I could see, there were no major falls!

First for a while...

Apologies one and all for taking a bit of time before getting a blog up, it's been a busy few weeks. We've had Speech Day, some more surfing, the House photo not to mention all the revision work the boys are doing in preparation for the end of year exams in a week or so.

Our leaving year 13 Boarders, Hassan Rana and Henrique Delarue.

It should be noted that earlier on Speech Day, both Hassan and Henrique were presented with a book and a set of cufflinks to remember their time in the House. Hassan will be remembered as being our first Head of House and Henrique was awarded the House Cup (yet to be purchased, but existing in theory at the moment!) for his allround effort and for being such a positive role model for all members in House.

I congratulate them both on their achievements and I am sure you would join me in wishing them well in the future!
