Boarding talks and a new House Mascot!!

Over the past two weeks the boys have had two talks given to them by different members of staff. Firstly we had a talk by Mr Miotti, the Head of English, on the importance of reading. The boys heard about all of the reasons why reading is useful, why books are better than films and the reasons for reading in terms of improving their all round academic ability.

The boys all attentively listening to Mr Miotti and his powerpoint talk on the importance of reading. 

Later in the week we had a talk on personal health and hygiene delivered by Mr Perelini. This talk gave the boys a few insights into the need for showering, exercising, eating well and general advice on being as fit and healthy as possible.

We will be having further talks, starting this week with a talk on nutrition given by Dr Stephanie Karl, an expert in the field.

We also have a new Fry House Mascot. He has been thoroughly cleaned and is now ready to be named - a process that we will go through this week!
