Year four visited the orphanage over two days in Week 10 to weed the lawns and help prepare a framework which we festooned with flowers, all paid for and funded by previous donations. It was hot and hard work and made especially fun by many of the Baan Jing Jai children being around to help. We managed a sing-song, and we showed the children how to dance the Macarena, principally due to Ms. Steph’s mastery of the dance.
As another academic year of sport draws to an end, there is just about enough time to pause for a breath and reflect on what has been another busy and successful year for our Regents Lions. There has been home runs, goals, baskets, cries of ahoy, two hand finishes, photo finishes and even a hole in one, as our pupils have once again immersed themselves in a wide range of sports here at Regents.ye
Each year, the Secondary Student Guild runs its annual Talent Show, followed by the House Battle of the Bands Competition. This year was the first year in which there was whole school collaboration and the Talent Show became a Primary and Secondary joint event.
