The event began with an assembly dedicated to Percy Armstrong, the College’s first Headmaster. During their presentation to the whole senior school, Armstrong students shared fascinating facts about their house’s namesake. and also introduced their chosen charity, ParalympicsGB, for which they would be raising funds during the day.
A cake sale at breaktime raised an impressive £150 in support of their chosen charity, with tasty treats like cookies and brownies on offer – all baked by the Armstrong students. However, the highlight of the day was undoubtedly the lunchtime Tug-of-War competition, where the whole school gathered to watch House vs House showdown. The atmosphere was buzzing as both the Hornby boys and girls teams claimed decisive victories, winning every match with impressive teamwork, resilience and determination.
A huge thank you to the Heads of Armstrong House, Lucy and Tom, as well as the Armstrong student committee, for organising such a successful and enjoyable day.
As Lucy and Tom say: “We love Armstrong because the house holds a sense of determination and unity”
The event was a wonderful start to the 2024 House Days, bringing students together and supporting a great cause! Next up will be Cooper House on 18 November.
