It was a delight to see so many Platt’s boys come together for the first House event of the new academic year. The majority of the House attended the ever-popular annual five-a-side football tournament and BBQ.
Boys from Years 8 to 13 had a thoroughly enjoyable evening, taking part in a series of quick-fire matches and enjoying a kick-about with friends. Mr Reid and Mr Barrick also helped being in goal throughout the event.
The evening was rounded off with a choice of beef burgers or hot dogs in brioche rolls, followed by doughnuts and drinks. Many pupils were even able to enjoy seconds!
“As a new Housemaster of Platt’s House, it was a fantastic opportunity to enjoy some fun and food with the boys and see such strong House spirit on display.” Nigel Corrigan, Housemaster of Platt’s
More Platt’s social events are planned for later this year and beyond, with the dual aims of bringing pupils together and supporting the House charity for the year, Oddballs, a charity dedicated to raising awareness and promoting education around testicular cancer.
