Greg Butler, S11, has begun to compete in
international swim meets, one being in Berlin in which he took part in last
weekend. Greg trains both before and after school for 2-3 hours, 7 days a week,
he trains with the world record holder for 50m breaststroke. He does this in
Derby and at Loughborough University; he currently holds the British record for
200m breaststroke in his age group, with a time of 2:25:86.
Greg is now waiting for the England talent competition
in Moscow, Russia to be rescheduled. This was unfortunately cancelled.
We all hope to see Greg in more international
competitions in the future. It is a pleasure to have such a high achiever in
our college. Well done Greg.
Red Nose Day!
Since its launch in 1988, Red Nose Day has become
something of a British institution. It’s the day, every two years, when people
across the land can get together and do something funny for money at home,
school and work. From 1988 till 1999, the red noses remained faceless, just red and
shiny.
Then in 2001, the red noses grew faces, which
increased in their popularity. From then on, the red noses became more and more
obscure until in 2015 they came in packets, a mystery to behold in each one.
There are even rumours of golden red noses, which give you a once-in-a-lifetime
opportunity to go on a trip somewhere.
