The Stopfordian 2010–2011 EDITORIAL Multi-tasking appears to be an increasing necessity in modern life. There is a lot written about it. Many argue that too much multi-tasking results in too little attention being given to any task being done simultaneously, frequently citing the example of today’s youth who so often hold unfocused conversations while simultaneously texting on their mobile phone. Many argue that men are less adept at multi-tasking than women. Multi-tasking can also be considered as being involved in many different activities, which is what life at Stockport Grammar School is all about. Our pupils have become adept at multi-tasking, balancing their demanding academic studies with a whole host of extracurricular pursuits from athletics to debating, travel to violin playing. This term I have been covering for an absent colleague writing references for students applying to university and I am so often impressed by the wide variety of pursuits that so many of our Upper Sixth have undertaken during their time at SGS. Many of their successes are celebrated in this volume; the list of distinctions and achievements and representative honours seems to get longer every year and participation in cocurricular activities continues to grow. This year we celebrated 20 years of the school’s participation in the Duke of Edinburgh Award scheme, and you can see some snap shots of the activities and award recipients this year on page 32. We are also very fortunate at this school to have a collection of dedicated and talented teaching and support staff who are also such willing multi-taskers. In addition to their planning, teaching, assessing and reporting responsibilities, pupils appreciate the time and expertise that so many staff bring to these extra-curricular pursuits. It is hard work, but ultimately very rewarding to see pupils enjoy and achieve in these activities, whether it be the awe inspired when taking pupils onto a glacier in Iceland, watching pupils debate topical issues confidently at Model United Nations conferences or remembering their lines in the Christmas Nativity production. Some of the best, and sometimes forgotten, multi-taskers, however, are the parents of our pupils. Many balance busy working lives with raising their children; all make sacrifices, whether financial, emotional or in terms of time, in order to support their offspring. It is common to see parents waiting in the car park for one, two or more children to finish a sports practice, music rehearsal or meeting, or collecting children at all hours when they return from theatre trips, History tours or Duke of Edinburgh expeditions. I am sure many of the Junior School parents, often with younger siblings around their ankles, spend evenings testing one child on their spellings while washing and ironing another child’s nativity costume and baking cakes for the Christmas fair: multi-tasking at its best! Two of my own children are now Junior School pupils and at aged seven and five they have already enjoyed trips out of school and lunchtime and after school clubs that range from Recorders to Gardening, Science to Dance. While I sometimes struggle to encourage recorder practice, I appreciate the patience and time that their teachers offer to nurture new interests and develop their talents; I hope that I can support my children in whatever extra-curricular activities and trips they choose to do in the future. I trust that seeing the enjoyment and achievements documented in these pages, parents, pupils and staff feel that their multi-tasking has been worthwhile and appreciated. My thanks, as always go to the Fine Print team, especially David Ayre, for their hard work and creativity in putting the magazine together. I would also like to thank Laughtons for the sports team pictures, Dr Krywonos for his photo contributions and my willing team of proof-readers; Vicky Barrett, the External Relations team and Debbie Flint really helped as my deadlines loomed. Thank you also to all the pupils, staff and parents who make these activities happen, support these events and submit photos and articles about them; I hope that you enjoy reading about them.
