this week's house champions

It has been another busy week and our students have, as ever, done a great deal to make us proud.

It is time to look back over the last 7 days and to celebrate and recognise the students who have been highly commended by staff for their academic attainments, commitment to learning, and community and extracurricular efforts and participation.

And there was much to celebrate during our Open Evening: our students truly impressed both visitors to school, and staff, by showcasing their enthusiasm for learning and for all things UGS, and their many talents in creative and technical fields, sports, and the Performing Arts.
