Dear Parents and Carers,
I am delighted to announce that Mr Tim Lilley will be our new CITF Coordinator. Mr Lilley has extensive experience with outdoor education, including being our Duke of Ed Coordinator and has worked with Outward Bound on many courses during his time at Cranbrook. A reminder that Year 7 will be going on CITF in Week 6; this is a five-day course commencing on Monday 26 August through to Friday 30 August (inclusive). Due to this being a Spring course and a slightly colder climate, the course and the sleeping arrangements have been modified to ensure students are safe and warm. More details will follow in a CITF briefing letter tomorrow. A quick note for Year 7 students who are involved in the Music Spring Festival – these students will complete their CITF course and return on the first bus on Friday morning to allow them time to return to home, shower and be back on campus for a 2pm start. There will also be a parent briefing during Week 4, all details will be provided tomorrow.
The Year 12 exams commence next week. I realise this can be a stressful and demanding time for our Year 12 students, but good preparation and study does help to relieve the stress of the tasks. I’d like to wish all Year 12 students the very best for their examinations.
On Tuesday, the annual Pitt Dash was held on campus, where a Junior and Senior runner from each House pound their way around the School in what has become a rather long sprint. Congratulations to Cutler House who were the overall winners and to Huon Groves who was our Senior winner and to Henry Roberts our Junior winner.
Yesterday, we hosted Warwick School from the UK for Rugby where a mixture 16s and 3rd XV players took on Warwick’s 2nd XV. Congratulations to Warwick School who won 4-2.
I wish everyone well with their weekend activities.
Have a great week.
Best wishes,
Bob Meakin
Deputy Headmaster & Head of Senior School
