2011 Eisteddfod Celebrations
The Senior School Eisteddfod took place on 7
th March.
The whole school was assembled in the main hall for the afternoon,
where a healthily competitive atmosphere developed as members of
Williams, Skerry, Shewbrooks and Dark battled it out for individual
and overall house honours. With points on offer for participation
as well as placings, house mathematicians adopted every trick in
the book to play the system to their advantage!
This year the focus of the Eisteddfod was on
the creative and performing arts and the event was launched by an
outstanding display of art in the school entrance hall and library
in the days leading up to March 7th.
The overall House Trophy was won by Skerry and
the afternoon culminated in the Chairing of the 2011 Bard, Megha
H of Year 9 for her series of Haikus.
