Eton scholar
Congratulations to Philip (Form 8) on winning a King’s Scholarship to Eton. He performed exceptionally well and earned a place in the highest of six outcome categories. He will take up residence in the scholars’ house at Eton in September. That makes it four scholarships so far this year from St Philip’s, we are very proud of all our boys.
Feast of the Ascension
On Thursday, Forms 7 and 8 attended Holy Mass at the Oratory Church for the Feast of the Ascension. Fr Rupert preached on the meaning of the ascension of Our Lord from Heaven, and the Schola sang from the Lady Altar with the support of Mr Payne.
Gone fishing
Form 5 boys used koi fish as their subject matter to explore and experiment with watercolours this week. With a wee way to go to match Turner, the paintings were vivid and full of energy.
