Josiah  (U6th)
Josiah has worked hard over the year, including morning training at Oswestry school, and in the summer he had the opportunity to attend a try-out for an NBBL (U19 Bundesliga in Germany) team. His hard work paid off and he has joined the TS Jahn Munich for this season. Coaches were very impressed with his talent and were impressed by his athletic ability. Josiah will be training with the team during the holidays and will keep in touch with the team to confirm his spot for next year as well.

 

Hannah (U6th)

Mrs Keith was lucky enough to be in Guinevere Boarding House on Saturday with Hannah, and watched how she interacted with the other boarders and staff. She is an exemplary role model. She was making drinks for others, tidying away, clearing the laundry, doing her own prep and was the first to volunteer to welcome and show around a new boarder that arrived with the family that afternoon. Hannah conducted tours and gave them a very warm Oswestry welcome. She helped Mrs Keith on duty and reminded her, and others, of the signing in times etc. Thank you so much, the Guinevere girls are very lucky to have you.

 

 

 

Calum (2nd)
Calum undertook some serious diving training over the summer holidays, and managed to attain both the PADI Advanced Open Water Diver Qualification, and the PADI Enriched Air Diver Qualification. This required both study and practical sessions which he undertook in the Lake District. Callum is one of the youngest divers to achieve these qualifications. He trained alongside adults and had to reach the same standard, so these qualifications will last him for life.
