The RGS Today Friday 15 May 2020 Issue 453
General Reminders The Second Ever…: After the success of our first-ever remote fixture, we are diving into the world of virtual competition again in order to enable you to represent your school in sport! This event is bigger and better and is open to all students in the School. During Monday to Wednesday next week we will take on five schools from across Surrey, Hampshire and Yorkshire in an inter-schools’ athletics competition. To compete you may run either a 1KM or 3KM distance (or both) and submit your time via the link on my email. Times / distances must be submitted by midnight on Wednesday 20 May so that we can post team and individual results by Friday 22 May. The schools competing are: RGS Guildford; Guildford High School; Weydon School; Perins School; Bradford Grammar School and Priestlands School. Participation in this event will be your weekly challenge for next week; please make every effort to take part (a good use of your core PE lesson or Games time). I would love for our participation numbers to be even larger than last week. Best of luck #RGSTogether (GDGC).

Countdown to the RGS Charity Event Charity Sleep Out: Thank you all for your phenomenal support. As a senior team we have been overwhelmed by the generosity of contributions and your messages of support (and reminders that you will be thinking of us from the warmth of your own beds!). Remember to follow our official RGS social media channels (Facebook, Twitter and Instagram) on Saturday night and Sunday morning for 'live' photos of our intrepid senior team as they settle down for the night and emerge from their sleeping bags next morning. It should be entertaining... All contributions, however small, to Centrepoint, the wonderful charity which supports the homeless would be very much appreciated: https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/rgs-smt
