The RGS Today Friday 5 June 2020 Issue 463
General Reminders Mallison Library: All Library loans have been renewed again until the beginning of next term, Friday 4 September. If arrangements are made for leavers to return textbooks at an earlier date, then leavers’ Library books will be returnable at the same time. Thank you for your co-operation (TFF). Social Responsibility: We hope that you continue to enjoy being able to meet up with some friends and family, now that is allowed in a restricted way. However, it is important as responsible members of society to abide by the government regulations for the sake of your own health and that of others. Groups should be no more than six people and you should continue to remain socially distanced (i.e. 2 metres apart). Please ensure you adhere strictly to these guidelines. Cricket Coaching: Michael Barnes, the RGS Guildford Cricket Professional, is now providing opportunities for one-to-one cricket coaching. These sessions are running independently from the School and are possible after the slight relaxation of lockdown measures surrounding cricket. Please see my email or contact me for further details (GDGC). House Lockdown Competition: Congratulations to all those who entered this inaugural competition. The standard was incredibly high; the results are published below (MRJ).

House Lockdown Competition
An Ode to Online Learning We’re experiencing a global pandemic That has changed the life academic All of our lessons are replaced with Teams sessions And the use of OneNote is systemic. We can’t play matches or sports Use pitches, pools or courts So poor Mr Cover has had to start over And his new online workouts aren’t short…
OVERALL RESULTS 1ST 2ND 3RD 4TH 5TH 6TH
Things extra-curricular are limited Because meeting in groups is prohibited Rehearsals are banned, no Field Days are planned And historical sites can’t be visited. The lockdown does have its plusses School’s saving a fortune on busses The online solution has cut the pollution Greta can’t see what the fuss is.
