Last week, a 400-strong audience of Bolton School families and members of the local community enjoyed an address from anthropologist Alice Roberts. She spoke about how the taming of dogs, horses and cattle changed the world. Her fascinating address culminated in an engaging and wide-ranging Q&A session.
In the Boys' Division, the Deputy Head (Academic) Mr Nic Ford has been listed as one of the 25 nominees for the i25 Awards, which recognise innovation in teaching and learning using technology. During his time at Bolton School, he has overseen the roll out of the one-to-one iPad programme and ensured that the devices have been fully integrated into school life as a teaching and learning tool.
Girls' Division students in Year 7 held a sponsored silence earlier this term to raise money for Hits Radio's Mission Christmas Cash for Kids Appeal. The year group's charity representatives then visited Smyths toy store at Middlebrook for a lunchtime 'trolley dash' to spend the cash on presents for those less fortunate.
Over the weekend, a team of Sixth Form girls won a place at the next round of the English-Speaking Union's (ESU) Mace competition after successfully arguing against the motion "Voting Should be Compulsory".
The Nursery's Butterflies and the Nursery Class for Three- and Four-Year-Olds started Bolton School's festive celebrations with their joint Nativity. They performed 'Whoops-A-Daisy Angel' in front of a large audience of delighted parents, grandparents, siblings and family members.
Looking ahead to the new year, the annual Burns Night Supper and Ceilidh will take place on 25 January 2020. There are currently 35 tickets remaining at £35 each and those interested in coming along for an evening full of tradition should contact the Girls' Division Parents' Association via email at bsgdpa@gmail.com.
