The Stopfordian 2011–2012 performances from Junior, Inter and Senior pupils alike and it is therefore only fitting, before we go any further, that we should thank all members of Warren for all that they do. There is so much more to the House System than winning and losing. Our venue this year was the ‘Pavilion Gym’; particularly fitting for many of the challenges, games and quizzes which kept us entertained, but not such a great venue for the House pantomime where the panto horse made its appearance from within the gym cupboard and caused all sorts of Health and Safety implications as the cast were wheeled in on the ‘mat trolley’! The Junior School made regular appearances and kept us entertained with their match reports and successes and took it upon themselves to invite us over to their territory for their funfilled assemblies. We look forward to welcoming some lively and enthusiastic Warrenites into our House in years to come. The Christmas House Party was a huge success, so much so that we have now been given the job of hosting the party every year. Our thanks go to all pupils who helped in the preparation and presentation of such a fabulous evening and particular thanks to our resident D.J. Lightfoot who created a phenomenal atmosphere. I am just not sure who enjoyed it most: the staff, the pupils, Sixth Formers or Mr Chicken!. The House quizzes are a regular highlight and it is a delight to witness the diversity of knowledge, interest and general trivia that our pupils have at their fingertips. Their ability to retain general knowledge, popular culture, sporting news and general “gossip” astounds me! Easter egg hunts and challenges, slide shows and presentations continued to brighten our Wednesday morning get-togethers as well as ‘farewell sing-a-thons’ and “goodbye” speeches which brought a tear to our eyes at times. Hallowe’en challenges and Valentine’s specials, ‘Battle of the Sexes’ and Christmas Carol singing continued to make the House system such a wonderful aspect of the school to be part of. Our House Captains demonstrated their exceptional presentation and organisational skills. As we approached the Summer Term and waved them off, we reflected upon the work they had done and we can honestly say that we were delighted with our selection. They were incredibly independent and showed great initiative in a whole host of assemblies, activities and organisational duties. Caitlin Gorman and Harry Allport worked their magic as our ‘inhouse’ Charity Representatives, raising thousands of pounds for Cancer Research and Francis House. Sponsored events, stalls, auctions, raffles and much, much more ensured that Warren was incredibly successful in raising funds. A big “Thank you” to all pupils who contributed in some way to our charity work. It is also right and fitting that we take the opportunity to thank our regular House staff who support us every Wednesday morning and at mid-week fixtures and meetings, as well as our ICT staff who did a marvellous job all year round in setting up equipment for presentations. I asked the House Captains to provide the highlights of their year. “After being in Warren House since I joined the school in Reception, it was an honour to be appointed as House Captain this year. I have always enjoyed taking part in House events so to be able to help organise them and cheer on The Warrenites was great fun. One of the highlights of the year was the Christmas pantomime which, although very stressful to put together, came together eventually and was something that I will never forget!” “The 300 strong Easter egg hunt in one of our House assemblies was something that I’ve never seen been done before and it was a great success. Being a House Captain has boosted my confidence in front of large audiences and this is something I will be able to carry with me into my future. I would like to thank Mr Hanson and Mrs Wilkinson for everything they do for Warren as a whole and also for the support that they have given me throughout my time at school. I will always have fond memories of Warren House and enjoyment that it has given me.” “It has been a great honour and pleasure to have been part of yet another successful year for Warren House. I have also felt proud to have represented and supported Warren in a variety of sporting and academic events throughout the year. Although not the most popular event with all pupils, my personal highlight of year was the Swimming Gala for two reasons. Firstly, our Olympic-standard swimming abilities ensured that we won the Gala and secured our rightful place at the top of the Fallows’ Shield! However more importantly, across all races there was not one empty Warren lane, which highlighted the enormous sense of team spirit that is shared within Warren House. I would like to thank Mrs Wilkinson and Mr Hanson for making Warren such a successful and friendly House, and also 32 Activities and Awards
The Stopfordian 2011–2012 thank everyone who has taken part in House events this year. Green will always be my favourite colour!” Opening Ceremony at the Olympics vs Warren House Party? There wasn’t much in it!” “Highlight? There were too many to mention. However, the House party was immense. Not least because it was down to Warren to organise and together; we put on a great show.
