House No. 3
Fiona Packham is Housemistress in No.3. She has two children (aged 23 and 7). She is married to Keith, Malvern College’s Director of Drama. She has been at Malvern since September 2006 and had been a Housemistress at her previous school. Fiona teaches Chemistry throughout the school and admits to finding the contrast between running the House and teaching in a Chemistry laboratory invigorating. Fiona says, “No.3 has a friendly and supportive atmosphere. Each girl is encouraged to seize every opportunity that comes her way and to make the most of her innate talents. It is a happy and sociable House and teamwork is of extreme importance. The girls are lively and full of fun, but during the examination season there is a clear feeling of focus”.
End of the week report from No.3
Wednesday 03. of March 2010
On Saturday 27th February 2010 the Inter House Netball Competitions were held. We were able to enter 4 fairly strong teams - senior A and B and junior A and B. All four teams played extremely well and with great enthusiasm. We coped well with the fact that some of the Senior B team are novice players and it was clear that all of the matches were enjoyed by all of the girls. We were able to win the Senior A competition and were second in the Junior A. Both of the B teams put in a very good effort and took third place. It was a really enjoyable afternoon and the girls were over the moon to be able to overcome the might of No.4 at last!
On Sunday evening the Sixth Form Centre was opened for the pupils in the Hundred. They were treated to a 'Black and Gold' themed party. The girls took a great deal of effort with their outfits and looked stunning. It was clear that some of them really appreciated the 'club style' music but as always not everyone was in agreement. The girls were very grateful for the opportunity to experience the Sixth Form Centre and many are looking forward to being full members next year!
Queen of the kikoys
Friday 26. of February 2010
This week a member of No.3 asked Father Law if she could take Chapel so that she could open the eyes of others as to the plight of children in other countries such as Uganda.
Charlie was born in Uganda and has lived there all her life. She is aware that many children there are subjected to difficult situations that we could not imagine. She spoke clearly and from the heart and 13 other girls from the House offered to help her get her message across. The whole presentation was moving and thought provoking. Charlie and her friends have been selling kikoys (scarves) in order to raise money to send to the charity which helps this cause. By the end of yesterday, only 12 hours after her moving presentation, the group had already raised over £300. This is a wonderful achievement for Charlie.
