Malvern Monday: House Singing, Sporting Triumphs and Community Highlights
Singing our way into the final week of this half of term, we celebrated successes in sport, inspiring talks and achievements both in and out of the classroom.
Here’s your #MalvernMonday round-up.
House Singing
House Singing brought pupils together for a fantastic celebration of teamwork, pupil leadership and house spirit, with House 9 taking the win. Congratulations to everyone involved in making it such a memorable evening.
Medical and Dentistry
Pupils enjoyed an inspiring session with Old Malvernian Will Raby-Smith, who shared insights into the world of medicine and dentistry. The session explored how these two fields work together to improve the lives of patients affected by cleft lip and palate, highlighting the importance of communication and collaboration in healthcare.
Sport
It was a memorable week on the sporting front. The 1st XV made history with a 30–24 victory over King’s School Worcester, securing the first win against them by a Malvern 1st XV. Meanwhile, the U15 rugby team produced a remarkable comeback, recovering from 21 points down to win 31–26. Our U14 netballers also celebrated success, being crowned District Tournament Champions.
Sports Talk
We welcomed Old Malvernian Rhys Davey back to Malvern for an engaging talk with our A Level PE and BTEC Sport students, Sports Scholars and members of The Downs Talented Athlete Programme.
Now a professional triathlon coach working with elite athletes, including those in the Great Britain Olympic programme, Rhys shared his journey into high-performance coaching. Pupils gained valuable insights into coaching, communication and the qualities needed to succeed in professional sport.
CCF Rifle Club
Congratulations to our Malvern College Rifle Club, whose hard work and focus earned outstanding results in the National Target Shooting League. Competing across 10 rounds against more than 150 shooters nationwide, Kasra and Katharina won their respective divisions, achieving top honours against experienced club shooters.
Charity Fundraising
Pupils came together for a Brownie charity sale, bringing community spirit to their fundraising efforts and supporting a good cause.
Life Skills
Pupils took part in insightful Life Skills sessions exploring relationships, diversity and other important topics, encouraging thoughtful conversations and a deeper understanding of themselves and others.
OM Sailing
Our Old Malvernian sailors secured an impressive second place in the Arrow Trophy on the Solent. Joined on board by Malvern teacher Mrs King, the team delivered a fantastic performance. Congratulations to the whole crew on a brilliant result.
As we head into the final week of the half term, congratulations to everyone involved in this week’s achievements, from the sporting teams to those making a difference across our wider community.
