A celebration of achievement.

Upper I was welcomed at St Augustine’s Priory yesterday, Tuesday 23^rd June, to celebrate their year of achievement with their Songs and Certificates.  After weeks of virtual learning the girls were very excited to be together again (with social distancing firmly to the fore, together with lots of hand sanitising). 

After a morning in the Meadow on Retreat, they gathered in the afternoon in the Chapel. Mrs Knowles introduced the Songs and Certificates and Upper I, joined by their friends who were at home and participating virtually, performed songs and readings they had prepared and rehearsed with their teachers via computer.

The theme, aptly for this year, was ‘Courage’ and the staff members present applauded loudly as each item was performed.

After the songs section of the afternoon Mrs Raffray read out each girl’s certificates, which, owing to coronavirus, were not presented to the girls but will be posted on to them.

This was a lovely day and it was so good to see Upper I again at St Augustine’s Priory.
