THIS Greek Spotlight on Rugby IN Odyssey Assemblies roundup ISSUE... p2 p4-5 p7 Head’s update News he Summer Term is always a busy one, packed with leavers’ celebrations, music concerts, Tsports days, cricket and athletics fixtures and, of course, public examinations. This is a time of change and celebration for our Upper Sixth students, their families and our staff. The summer sees the culmination of a great deal of hard work as students embark on the next, exciting chapter of their lives at university, in the workplace or on a gap year. We hope they will all stay in touch with the school through our Former Pupils’ Association (FPA). In May, I attended the London Dinner for former pupils who are now living and working in the South. I was delighted to hear that, for many, their passion for the school is as strong as ever and that they are keen to help expand the role of the FPA. The school too, is keen to strengthen our network of former pupils. To this end, the FPA and the school are funding a new Development & Alumni Officer role. The post holder, who will join us later this summer, will engage with former pupils and extend the range of services we can offer them once they have left school. I am also delighted to announce the appointment of Rob Barrow as the Lord Lieutenant’s representative on the Governing Body. Rob is an experienced fundraiser and a former CEO and Chairman of a FTSE 250 software company. Sharing our commitment to broadening access to King’s, he will join our bursary and fundraising committee and the team driving forward our bursary generation schemes (see story below).

Most of the drama, poetry, painting and sculpture of the Qreeks is based on stories of gods and heroes and of the mortal men and women with whom they dealt. The myths nf the early Qreek peoples had a religious "' quasl-sclenllfic meaning and formed ihF- essential background and cultural heritage "I later Qreek civilisations. They played nn important part in the creation of the glory Ihal wai Gropre The author, in addition to narrating familiar and lesser-known stories, traces the development of particular myths from the most primitive times to the sophisticated civilisation that formed the Qolden Age ui Greece He shows that Qreek mythology wiis a dynamic expression of the people's r 'nscious or subconscious desires not a static unvarying canon of stories. The richness 'if Greek myths may be accounted for paniy dv the widely scattered places In which ihey developed on the Qreek mainland, on the Aegean Islands and in the Greek colonies of southern Italy. Some of the myths can be traced back to earlier nature religions. Others can be explained in terms of modern psychological theory The stories of Greek mythology have been a source of Inspiration to artists even since they first gained currency.
