Recently, we've seen fantastic leadership qualities emerging, with Dylan naturally stepping up to support and guide other cadets. His willingness to help and lead by example perfectly embodies the values of the CCF.

As soon as Hannes arrived at school, he signed up for Creative Writing club. His writing is absolutely brilliant, and he works so hard on it in his free time, to try and use word play and puns in his poetry and prose. He just gets better every week and it is wonderful to see, as well as inspiring to all his Creative Writing Club colleagues. Well done!
