This Academic Year started with Covid-19 protocols still in place. Pupils arriving back to the boarding houses had to follow strict quarantinning guidelines and we experienced a nervous return to normality. This weekend many students will depart on one of the two overseas trips. Students in Year 7 and 8 will head off to the Lake District for Activity Week. It is so good to be back together and during the Celebration Assembly, we took the opportunity to look back at some of the highlights of this term. While there many prize winners at Prize Giving in November, this blog post shows there were many to give away during this assembly.
This ae neet, this ae neet,
Every neet and all,
Fire an’ fleet an’ candleleet,
And Christ receive thy saul
Goes the opening verse of a 14th century poem about the Lyke Wake Walk. The walk is a North Yorkshire tradition of carrying coffins across the North Yorkshire Moors. In 1953 Yorkshireman Bill Cowley took this tradition and turned it into a hiking route. At Scarborough College we continue to honour this tradition. On 18 June, 37 members of our Sixth Form attempted to complete this walk. The walk itself is little over 40 miles in length across the widest and highest parts of the North York Moors. Through quite challenging terrain, hikers must complete the walk in one single day. In the Celebration Assembly, we congratulated those who manage to complete the half Lyke Wake as well as the full Lyke Wake Walk.
Clara, Emilie W, Katharina, Mia, A’Isha, Amelie, Barbara, Bianca, Book, Bruna, Fynn, George, Heidi, Henry, Ivan, Lily S, Mauricio, Philipp, Sophie, Tenten, Veronika and Mr Weeda completed the half Lyke Wake.
Tomos, Tom P, Lucia, Harry M, Hannah, Guillermo, Frederik, Federica, Emily H, Dario, Daria, Charlie A, Alex, Alessandro, Jack M and James completed the Lyke Wake Walk. As a result, they have achieved eligibility for membership of the Lyke Wake Club.
