The London Community Choir

Ian Warner

Electric guitar masterclass with Louis Carrigan, Year 11 Q We were very privileged to have Helen Hayes MP come to talk to the boys back in November. She talked about how humbled and proud she was when she was elected but how she would not like to be Prime Minister – she just wanted to be the best MP she could be for her constituency. The boys asked many testing questions about Brexit and Donald Trump, and she spoke about the desperate need for more affordable housing. Ian Warner , a Paralympian in Sledge Hockey, came to speak to the boys about his experiences of going to two Winter Paralympics and his quest to qualify once more. He inspired the boys with what it takes to be dedicated to an activity and reach for a dream; they even got to try on some of the kit and look at the sticks and pucks. GB Olympic hockey gold medallist, Lily Owlsey , spoke to the Junior School about her team’s emphatic victory in the 2016 Rio Olympics and shared first-hand the emotions of that memorable final. She also spoke very maturely about her own personal ambition and how through sheer hard work and dedication she has reached the pinnacle of her sport.
