Leavers' Dinner 2018

Rector's message - December 2018

by Nick McIvor

The Year 13 Leavers’ Dinner last Tuesday night was a fine send off for the young men there; a final step in departure from TBHS after 5 years’ learning and growing. It was a gathering with fellowship, reflection, affirmation, and the opportunity for parents and staff to enjoy what has passed and to consider with excitement what will be, for the class of 2014. It was a pleasure to be in the company of so many fine young men.
