Issue No. 89 Friday 5th February 2016 The Principal’s Update The first week of February has been another action packed one in our Senior School and College. Year 12 students continued to enjoy their career breakfasts. This week the wide range of topics included law, engineering, creative industries, business, ICT, accountancy, maths and economics. Yesterday evening it was a pleasure to welcome so many parents and students to the Year 11 Parents’ Evening. It was the last Parents’ Evening before they make their Year 12 option choices next week. This morning it was the turn of Year 9 students to have their Big Breakfast to raise funds for Save the Children. Our catering team provided yet another delicious and nutritious breakfast which students devoured. Yet again students were extremely generous in their donations to this organisation that does such vital work for children across the world. Mobile Phones We would like to remind you that although mobile phones are permitted for Senior School girls, they must be kept in students’ lockers for the duration of the school day. If students are found using their mobiles during the school day, parents will be contacted and asked to collect the telephone.

    Summer term: Week 1 News 26th April 2019 A note from the Deputy Head of School After a restful and productive break, it is good to see everyone back and launching themselves into this final busy term of the year. With exams approaching fast, I hope everyone is feeling relaxed and prepared. International representation in both hockey and rowing has been the order of the day and my congratulations go to all involved. It is fitting for such prestige to come to the rowing club in its 150th year of existence. Con- gratulations also must go to the quiz team and it seems the Young Enterprise scheme promises another suc- cessful year! I wish you all the best for the upcoming term! Written by Deputy Head of School, Adam Top stories MAGICAL DAY CELEBRATES MONMOUTH’S PROUD ROWING HISTORY The rich history of rowing at Monmouth School for Boys was celebrated with two special events at the beginning of April. A wonderful gala dinner for almost 200 guests marked the club’s 150th anniversary year and a boat named after John Hartland, a legendary rowing coach at the school and for Welsh rowing, had been christened on the banks of the River Wye in Monmouth earlier that afternoon. Mr John Griffiths, Master in Charge of Rowing, described the events as ‘sensational’ and said it had been a ‘very special day’ in the history of the club. The day began with the naming of the new John W Hartland boat to honour Monmouth sporting legend John Hartland who inspired hundreds of rowers over 50 years on the River Wye and across Wales.

Glyndwr was a member of the dynasty The flag of Owain Glyndwr of northern Powys and, on his mother's side, descended from that of Deheubarth in the south. The family had fought for Llywelyn ap Gruffydd and regained their lands in north-east Wales only through a calculated association with the powerful Marcher lords.

    A Note from the Headmaster Top Stories SNOW BLANKETS

    Lent term: Week 4 News 29th January 2021 A note from the Headmaster It was a joy to see boarders snowballing and building snowmen on the school lawn last Sunday – a reminder of the importance for boys to be able to let off steam outdoors, which is more important than ever, given the restrictions that lockdown has imposed on us. Next week is Mental Health Week and we are encouraging all the boys to take time away from their screens and do something creative, indoors or outdoors, in line with our “Express yourself” theme. The options for creativity are boundless and we ask that boys take a photo or two of their endeavours and share them with their tutor and tutor group for discussion during the week. The Rotary competitions are also a great chance for our boys to submit some of their creative work for a prize. Of course, there is so much creative endeavour going on already, as this week’s newsletter shows. I loved the first edition of The Happy Times; well done to the Wye Dean boys! Top stories SNOW BLANKETS MONMOUTH AND BRIGHTENS UP THE DAILY EXERCISE Snowfall lent a particularly picturesque look to the school site last weekend and the crisp downfall certainly brightened up the views on everyone's daily exercise. Whether it was snowball fights at Chapel House or a frosty run on the Kymin, it was yet another reminder of what a lovely part of the world Monmouth is in.
