School House
The Russells are a quintet - Jamie, Meggie, Poppy, Rosy and Harry - plus two: Pidge, a mouldering Border Terrier, and Kitty a rather excitable 'Heinz 57' puppy.Jamie has come to schoolmastering via the Army and business, and having been a boarder himself also brings that experience to bear in his role as Housemaster. His ethos is straightforward: to create an environment where the boys will flourish. In recent years the SH boys have been very active in all areas of the College - the academic, sporting, and cultural - a balance they seek to maintain.
School House Soiree´ 2010
Wednesday 03. of March 2010
On Sunday 24th January, members of School House performed to some sixty guests and the boys in their annual Soiree. The programme included instrumental performances from Henry Ma, Christian Peterseim, Philippe Defferrard, Hugo Hollis and Aaron King, singing from Rupert Harris, a strings quintet (including Christian, Rupert and Wesley Chow) and recitations from Henry Bridge and Alastair Brookes. The event was co-ordinated - masterfully it has to be said - by George Lacey who himself performed and accompanied many of the other pieces. The audience were also treated to a slideshow of the year's photos compiled by Oli Pantelides. Guests remarked on the outstanding nature of all of the performances, especially the House song (which secured victory for SH in the House Song Competition last September): 'When you say nothing at all' was a fitting end to a wonderful evening.

The Toy Box Party
Monday 08. of February 2010
On the 6th February, No4, No.3 and SH hosted a Sixth Form Party in the school's Sixth Form Centre for their friends in all of the other Houses. The theme they decided upon was 'The Toy Box' and the three Houses worked well together to decorate the venue, select the music and decide upon the all important costumes. It was remarked upon by several teachers that they created a nice, calm atmosphere even if the music was much louder than the teachers were used to! Special praise for costumes goes to Hannah Pascoe as Buzz Lightyear and Will Morley as Andy Pandy.
