November 1st marked a day when 14 brave men at school began growing moustaches to have a change of style, a good laugh, and most importantly, raise money for a good cause. Movember is of course an ever-growing event that takes place every November in which men “grow a mo” to raise money and awareness of men’s health issues, such as prostate cancer, throughout the month. Many fundraising efforts were made in school, the best of which was undoubtedly Mr Sweetman’s cake sales outside the DT block. The warm chocolate brownies he made had people going back every single break, a fine effort indeed. To recognise some of the finest fundraising efforts, here are the first ever King Henry VIII School Mo awards: Best Mo: Dr Reddish. Dr Reddish’s fine mo can only be described as a musketeer style, or maybe he was growing it to audition for the position as the next Bond villain, either way he takes the crown, only however, by a whisker (pun intended). Best fundraising: Mr Sweetman. Most nights Mr Sweetman and his Mo were working tirelessly in the kitchen, baking for the bake sales the next day. The mo itself is best described in my opinion, as a 1970s football player style. Most precisely executed: Mr Rendle. Over at the DT block, it’s been a successful Movember, Mr Rendle pulled off a style of sideburns crossed with a handlebar moustache, describable as a motorcyclist or lumberjack style. Our most sincere congratulations are extended to the winners of these highly prestigious awards. These efforts have managed to raise an amazing total of £1,582! We look forward to even fiercer competition and greater fund raising in Movember 2016. Jake Bland, Year 10 house drama House Drama was vacant in the 2014-15 academic year, but returned with a surge of talent and creativity at the start of this year. Arguably one of the most student-oriented House events, House Drama pitted the four Houses against each other, with a senior student from each house directing a small cast of pupils to perform a play. Hales, the winning House, executed the seemingly impossible by condensing the entirety of Shakespeare’s Macbeth into ten minutes. Scoring an almost perfect mark, Frankie Brown was praised for her direction, employing a creative use of a chorus and for her organisation of a talented Hales cast. In a cast that spanned almost all year groups, with standout performances from Billy Walton and Lushan Panchal, it was certainly a well- deserved win for Hales. Close runners-up were Whites, continuing on from their success in the previous House Drama two years previously. Director Cameron Low presented an entertaining take on school life, with an original piece performed by a strong cast of White’s students of a variety of ages. This variety was effective in truly giving the performance the feeling of representing the school as a whole. In another ambitious rendition of a full-length play that was hugely entertaining, Sherwyn’s performed the musical ‘Annie’. Of all of the Houses Sherwyn’s had the most varied cast, with its senior as well as junior performers pulling together. For most of those that saw the play, the finest performance was that of Jacek Parylo as Miss Hannigan, which was brilliant and disturbing in equal measure. There could have been no better choice for that role. Hollands performed an original play about a support group for superheroes, with a compact yet talented cast. Veteran senior performer Emilia Cieslak turned in another excellent performance as the deranged villain, with younger actors such as Eva Quinn and Caitlin Hickingbotham showing a great deal of promise for future school drama contributions. A huge amount of commitment, organisation and hard-work was demonstrated by all four Houses in delivering such impressive performances. I speak from bitter experience when I say that it is very rare to not see at least one House take an unfortunate turn mid- performance, so this year has been a pleasing surprise for all involved. For this, everyone involved in acting, direction and support should be congratulated! Matt Kenyon. Year 12 2015 To 2016 | 15
