An important part of the GCSE Programme is the programme of social events and activities that offer students a chance to have some fun outside the classroom. Last half-term's bowling trip was one such event.
It also proved to be another great opportunity to display our students' astonishing talent: should their summer exams go poorly, Toby Sun and Sergiy Marchenko clearly have a bright future as professional bowlers — they finished the evening with record scores of 95 and 94. Helen Wood also deserves credit for saving the staff from complete humiliation by equalizing with a score of 95.
But the evening was also a chance to show off just how creative some of our students are. We were witness to some unique bowling techniques, never before seen on the UK mainland. These included throwing the ball so hard and with such inaccuracy that it bounced into the neighbour's lane! (Thank you for that, Atsuko Hashimoto…) And, not to be out done, Nathalie Rimensberger rolled the ball so slowly it did not even reach the pins. Last but not least, Joe Ou went to bowl the ball, forgot to let go of it and promptly fell over.
A night of extreme talent, clumsiness and great fun!
