6th Form Survival Guide 2021

Make the most of your free time There are plenty of sporting activities on offer such as football, cricket nets, tennis, basketball, gym sessions, darts, table-tennis etc. You may wish to choose to relax in the Sixth Form Common Room and watch TV, a DVD, Sky Sports, play snooker, cards, read or socialise. Cooking and baking are also popular activities; the Sixth Form kitchen is well equipped. If you are musical, we have a keyboard and you can practise and play your own instrument in the music room. Look at the activity timetable for the senior house activity sessions. There are also a wide range of sports training sessions, activities and clubs available in school. Just remember to sign out the house if you are attending an after-school club. There are house competitions and trips each term; the more you participate in, the better! Surviving the weekend at home If you are a weekly boarder, you will be in boarding from a Sunday evening until Friday afternoon. You are allowed to stay on Friday night (if you have a sports match on Saturday for example); just let a Housemaster know and remember to sign up for Friday evening meal and Saturday breakfast. Parents always have lots of questions and want to know how things are going, so do keep your parents up to date with your studies, test results, boarding life etc. Remind your parents about the blog and follow boarding on twitter @RGSHWboarding as this is another way they can find out about boarding life. 14/15
