SOUTH AFRICAN ROWING CHAMPS 2018 A team of 20 Peterhouse pupils, 9 boys and 11 girls, travelled to Roodeplaat Dam, Pretoria, South Africa to compete at the South African Schools Rowing Championships.

We attained some significant results and walked away from the competition winning first place in RSA ROWING CHAMPS the Co-Ed School Trophy for the third year in a row. The Peter- house Boat Club would like to thank all those involved in making the tour a success, in particular Giles and Deborah Raynor, Laura Evans and Louvina Eggersglusz. As well as a big thank you to the coaches without whom this would never have been possible. In summary we had 15 entries in the A Finals, 4 entries in the B Finals and won 3 Medals.

CURRICULUM SUPPORT Did you know that each school in the Peterhouse Group has a MISSION WEEK Curriculum Support Department which is well resourced and staffed by qualified/experienced teachers who deliver individual and group support to pupils with a variety of learning needs? We offer support to pupils who have a learning difficulty (dyslexia, dyspraxia, dyscalculia, Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) and Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD)) which has been formally diagnosed by an Educational Psychologist. We also support pupils who have not been formally diagnosed with a OUTSTANDING RESULTS learning difficulty but can benefit from support for their learning needs (e.g. helping with literacy, numeracy, study, revision skills, organisation or subject specific support). At both Springvale House and Peterhouse all new pupils are either ‘monitored’ or ‘screened’ for curriculum support needs during their first term and, if necessary, parents are advised to refer their children to an Educational Psychologist for formal assessment. ROSE WINDOW IN ST FRANCIS CHAPEL OUTSTANDING RESULTS SOCIAL MEDIA The 2017 A level results were record breaking! 41.4% of all pa- pers were graded A* to B and just under 70% A* to C. 11 pupils achieved the equivalent of 3 A grades.

WATERPOLO D BLOCK BASE CAMP (INIFINITY PROGRAMME) D Block pupils took to Calderwood Park for the D Block Basecamp Teambuilding Programme from 17 to 19 Jan (PHG) and 20 to 23 Jan (PHB). The weather played its part, again – but unlike last year’s floods, the pupils had very hot and dry conditions. The pupils all managed the 25km plus hike (which was particularly arduous in the draining heat), participated in raft building and other team building activities, learned and experienced basic canoeing skills, braved the abseil and practiced target shooting. They coped D BLOCK incredibly well and were very supportive of each other. It was evident in the feedback session that they learnt a lot about challenging situations and about each other.
