House No. 8
The facilities in No.8 are excellent and all girls enjoy the spacious accommodation. Pam Richardson, their Housemistress, organises regular social events for the girls, as well as evening functions, which enable parents to get to know each other. It is a warm and friendly House, a welcoming place where the aim is to provide all girls with care and facilities that will enable them to enjoy school and make the very best of their time at Malvern College.
Pam has been at the College since 1992 when she moved to Malvern from Ellerslie School as a teacher of French and Italian. Pam and her husband Andy have four children, Daniel, Laura, Lydia and Richard, and as a family they are all fans of rugby in general and Gloucester Rugby Club in particular. Pam’s other main interests are playing the piano, walking, good food and wines.
No.8 Girls give spirited performance in House Netball competition
Tuesday 02. of March 2010
Saturday afternoon's House Netball tournament was a hard fought but enjoyable contest with the House putting out A and B teams for both the senior and the junior competitions. The senior A team came third, playing extremely well in some very competitive games and the senior B team second after winning all of their matches convincingly, conceding very few goals and only losing their last game, against No.4, by 1 goal. The junior A team did not lose a game but came second because they drew twice and the junior B team played very well against the strong teams from Houses 3 and 4 (House 6 and EH not being able to field B teams).
The photographs show our two senior teams: the A team of (l to r) Mueni Muthama, Kathy Rogers, Alice Pinfield, Tabby Griffiths, Aisha Bond, Amelia Freeman and Julia James and the B team of (l to r) Laolu Akin-Oteniya, Lizzie Maclean, Laura Atkins, Pauline Op de Beeck, Beth Lloyd, Hebe Morgan, Diana Almazova and Tara Margulies.
