Westwood boarders have had an excellent first weekend. It has been great to have so much positive feedback from the pupils and yourselves. A good number were involved in swimming, hockey and rugby matches/training yesterday. The teams were largely successful. We all headed to town in the afternoon and all made it back safely on the number 31 bus. The pupils had support from our prefects Michael and Joanna yesterday. The Saturday night movie was 'Sing' and this led to much laughter. The pizza was also a hit! The boarders have been very cooperative at night time handing in their devices and going to sleep quickly.
After breakfast on Sunday (in the House), the wonderfully creative Mrs Duke had all the boarders doing déco-patch initials to enhance the dormitories. The 3D creations were really good and you can see the process below!
Nearly finished!
Lots of focus!

After the morning activity and brunch, we enjoyed crazy golf in Victoria Park, spitting distance from Bath's famed Royal Crescent. Mr Duke took a large supply of spare balls, but only needed to hand out two! Connie got a hole in one.
Dab!
Golfing skills on view!
Unusual style!

The bus back up the hill!
The pupils embraced the new show cleaning initiative and then headed to supper!
It was great that nine pupils went for an evening swim. It has been a packed weekend, but one enjoyed by everyone. In our evening meeting we discuss what has gone well and waht we might improve. It was really encouraging to hear from the pupils that they feel at home, well supported and are making friends - community building!! Hope this finds you well wherever you are reading it!
