2015-09-03 | Head of Stanmore

Dear Parents and Guardians,

Last week the first of many formal Year 12 farewells occurred with the Cadet Passing Out Parade followed the by the Dining-In Night. The boys looked incredibly dapper in their mess uniforms and the evening was an outstanding success.

This weekend Back to Newington Day provides an exciting opportunity for all ‘Black and White’ families to unite and share in our pride for the College. I warmly invite all families to join us in the celebrations and remind all boys that student rolls will be marked by their Heads of House at the half mark in both the 1sts Football and Rugby fixtures at approximatley 2.00pm and 4.00pm.

I look forward to your company.

Dr Andrew Hirst - Deputy Headmaster/ Head of Stanmore
