A day in the life

It's a beautiful day:

Huntley Weekend

People often ask me what boys get up to at Huntley in the weekend. Here is what they did on this Sunday.

Scootering in the Weekend

This weekend I took some video footage of the boys on their scooters. Fergus Grant helped with the technical assistance. The rest speaks for itself:

G.D.P Value of the week

This week Guts, Determination and Pride has been the values of the week. Jack Lord introduced this to the boys and gave a brief quote and the reason why he is showing GDP at the moment. (Jack has damaged his knee and can't play rugby)

I also talked about it in chapel and used Rourke Fraser as an example of how GDP doesn't just have to be shown on the sports field. We talked about Oral Assessments and how nervous some boys get before speaking to the assessor as another way of showing GDP.

Today in Chapel i talked about the following family and how they showed GDP.

Featherston Information Evening

On Wednesday 28th of July Pam and I ventured over to the Wairarapa to the Tylee's house in Featherston for an information evening. We managed to catch up with a number of past families, old boys and prospective families. It was lovely to be able to hear how some of our recent old boys are getting on in their secondary schools.
In total twenty five people attended the evening and many thanks must go to Tina and Dougal Tylee for their hospitality.

The following day we travelled on to Wellesley to watch over a hundred and twenty boys taking part in a prep exchange. We won all the hockey fixtures, lost all the soccer fixtures and lost one rugby game, won the 2nd XV game and drew the 1st XV game so at the end of the day it was a draw for both schools.
