The Lambrookian - Issue 4 Welcome Headmaster’s It gives me enormous pleasure to welcome you to this edition of The Lambrookian Magazine. Although only a snapshot of some of our former pupils and school life today, I do hope that as you look back on what Lambrook was like and what has changed, it will remind you of happy times when you were here at the School. Lambrook is now a Prep School of around 600 pupils and it continues to be an enormous privilege to be Headmaster here. Pupils continue to thrive, whether that be in the classroom, on the stage, on the sports field, in outdoor leaning, or as they undertake their co-curricular activities. Through the breadth and depth of opportunities on offer here, we aim to give our children the ‘feathers to fly’ so that they are prepared for the next stage of their academic journey and when they leave us, they truly soar. We continue to build on the School’s strong academic history and when our pupils leave us, they go on to the top Senior Schools in the country, with some pupils awarded academic, music and sport Scholarships for excellence in these fields. It is always a joy to welcome former pupils back to Lambrook and in June, some of our more recent leavers spoke to our Year 8 pupils virtually, as part of our Year 8 leaving programme. Our Year 8 children were completely enthralled by the enthusiasm shown by these Old Lambrookians and their passion to share their experiences with fellow Lambrookians. In May we hosted a virtual Alumni event for a group of Old Lambrookians who left in the 1950s and 1960s. For a lot of the attendees, it was the first time that they had seen some of their friends since moving on to their Senior Schools, and it was as if they had only left last year; the fun that they had during the evening was, I know, reflective of the fun that they had when they were boys at Lambrook. I do hope that similarly, our current pupils will look back at their time at Lambrook with an equal level of happiness and fulfilment from the exciting and enriching opportunities they have experienced here. We are keen to keep in touch with our former pupils and have been extremely disappointed that the recent global pandemic has made it so difficult to be able to gather groups of Alumni together, in person. We very much hope that looking ahead, we will be able to reinstate former events as well as introduce new ones, and we look forward to keeping you informed of these in due course. In the meantime, if you are yet to sign up to be a part of the Alumni Community, may I encourage you to do this, so that we can keep you up to date with news and events. Please also get in contact by email or phone – we would love to hear what you are doing and what life has been like since leaving Lambrook. We look forward to keeping in touch.
