The last social

I'd like to thank everyone who has contributed week after week to end Saturdays in a really fun way.
Here you go some pictures of the last social, when we had the chance to welcome year 11's and the new prefects group. Lovely night!

PS.: BTW, special gracias to the DJ's for the salsa songs, for Las Ketchup and for Macarena. Thas was sweet.

Personal baggage

Time goes by so fast. It seems like only yesterday that we all were unpacking our stuff and wondering what to expect from the new term and suddenly we realise that it’s time to pack again. And then you notice that there are more things to take home than those that you first brought. It always happens (even if most of your socks have mysteriously disappeared and you can barely match them). There are now new clothes and new books and maybe that funny mug you got, but also there are many other things that you will take home: new experiences, new memories, new friends (some of whom will be old friends one day). Those are now a part of your baggage, of your personal baggage.


As I said, it’s time to pack again and not only winter clothes, worn soles shoes and lonely socks, but mostly that. So listen to me: start packing ASAP, don’t leave everything for the last minute, the rooms must be completely cleared out before you leave them.


And when you’re packing, leave some space for my affection and best wishes for your holidays and on. I will never forget this fantastic first year at Chetham’s. It’s been a pleasure to meet you all.

P.S.: Come on!!! Pack!!!
