Brett Garrard, England’s most capped international hockey player and St John’s hockey coach, created a challenging and enjoyable training session where the aspiring hockey stars not only benefited from some top class coaching but also saw some superb skills from Brett and other visiting international players who ran the coaching session.
Nick Platt, Director of Sport at St John’s, said “We are delighted to have someone with Brett’s experience guiding our own hockey players and pleased that we are able to let other schools benefit from his expertise – I know our visitors thoroughly enjoyed their time here and I hope they are able to impress on the hockey pitch with some of their newly acquired skills”.
Over one hundred Prep School musicians from six schools joined forces at the annual Orchestral Play Day. With just an afternoon’s rehearsal the orchestra performed a concert in the evening to their parents. This event is particularly impressive as the musicians were all aged between 8 and 12.
The concert was organised by Nicholas Smith, Director of Music at St John’s School, who said
“As always, this popular event demonstrates the excellent quality of musicians that these schools are producing. They get an awful amount out of the day and hopefully it enthuses them to play in larger ensembles in the future”.
