Lower School Sports Day
At the Lower School Sports Days it was hard to know which direction to look in… whichever direction you turned boys were running, hurdling, dodging or pulling with all their might for a tug of war. Each boy competed in five events and thoroughly deserved the refreshing ice lolly treat at the end of their…
Quirk Salvation Squad
With the euphoric cries of ‘Be Yourself!’ still ringing in our ears, a drained and dazzled audience departed into the night. As the multi-coloured pyramid was dismantled, the blow-up fish deflated and the goat head-piece tucked away, both cast-members and audience knew that they had witnessed a show like no other; an original musical with…
The Real Inspector Hound
Monday night saw the last of this year’s series of Year 8 Plays, with the boys from 8P performing Tom Stoppard’s seminal classic, THE REAL INSPECTOR HOUND. Part whodunnit, part surreal meta-theatre, part comedy, the piece follows two critics (Henry and James) who are reviewing The Murder at Muldoon Manor, a second-rate murder mystery. With…

Lionhunt!
On Wednesday, the Year 2 boys astounded their parents with an amazing performance of the children’s opera Lionhunt! A temperamental Italian conductor, a glamorous soprano, a director and a big fat bass searched the Coliseum for their missing lead singer, Brian the Lion. On their way, they met mice, cats, dogs, owls and snakes who…
