headlines We are delighted to announce that all of our Year 8 have done so incredibly

well with their Common Entrance exams, including Alistair’s Music Scholarship

to Sevenoaks and Amelie’s Art Scholarship to Mayfield. Not only did all pupils

achieve their first choice schools but their grades are very strong and hold

them in good stead for the future, so that they can all start their new school

secure in their achievements. Year 8 are now enjoying their trip to Rockley,

we look forward to their return today.

We had bronze, silver and gold winners at the recent Independent Schools

Athletics Association’s regional qualifiers– well done to all our competitors

and especially to Luca, Rufus, Sam and Abi.

Today we marked the opening of our indoor pool by The Rt Hon Greg Clark

MP. The pool has enabled curriculum enrichment both with sport and

personal development of a life skill.

Can I remind parents of our Future Schools Information Booklet which details information about the neces-

sary next steps , it is also saved in the Parent Portal. https://www.rosehillschool.co.uk/assets/

ising!

La journee Francaise

On Monday, 25th June, Rose Hill will once again go French for the day.

Year 8 will start proceedings early with the bureau de change in the Quad. Pupils are asked to bring a

£1.00 coin to school, so that they can exchange it for a Euro.

In assembly we shall be celebrating the exploits of the super hero ‘Geronimo the Giraffe’ on this year’s

residential trip.

Prep school break will be extended by 15 minutes as pupils spend their euro and order (in French) ‘un pain

au chocolat’ and ‘un Diabolo’ drink from one of the highly trained and professional Year 6 French waiters

or waitresses.

During Pre-Prep break, Kindergarten and Reception pupils will be treated to a mini pain au chocolat on

the grass adjacent to the astro-turf. Years 1 and 2 will be served by the Year 6 waiters on the Staff Lawn.

Patrons of this year’s café will be entertained by street entertainers and buskers. They will also be joined by

caricature artists sketching those who are brave enough to undertake a very public sitting!

Throughout the day, staff will be adding a French flavour to their lessons.

At lunchtime the children will be treated to a Croque Monsieur and other French delicacies. Each table

will feature a menu designed and produced by a Year 3 pupil. The menus will be judged with awards go-

ing to the most impressive.

On the day, all children should wear smart, casual dress with at least one of the tricolour colours: bleu,

blanc, rouge (No uniforms, no football shirts, no make-up etc.)

PUPILS ARE REMINDED TO BRING TO BRING £1.00

Merci bien et bonne journée

ANNUAL ART EXHIBITION We have had a spectacular year of Art at Rose Hill School, which has included our first House Art Competi-

tion and creating our mural. As part of the Summer Fair and the Annual Summer Art Exhibition this year we

have a special 'Nature' art exhibition in the double classrooms. Every child in the school will have one

piece of artwork framed and displayed. You will have the opportunity to purchase this framed artwork.

You may also order copies of the artwork, note cards or bags with the artwork on the day. If you miss the

Summer Fair you still have the opportunity to order your framed artwork until Friday 29 June by emailing

your order directly to Emma Dunning at emma.imagesart@gmail.com. All final orders will be delivered to

school on Tuesday 10 July.

All pupils have contributed to the 'Forget me not' installation which is now be displayed outside Reception

- a collaborative piece of art produced by the all pupils of Rose Hill School to help raise awareness of the

Hospice in the Weald campaign in conjunction with the Non Uniform charity day on the 18th of May this

year. It is a big log with individual clay flower made by each pupil and Year 8s birds (animals which will fly

off to the next stage, senior school).

On Thursday 14th June, Y8 went on an historical walking tour of Tunbridge Wells. We started in the Pantiles

and visited the site of the Chalybeate Spring. From here, we walked up Mount Sion and entered Grove

Park- Tunbridge Wells’ oldest park. We then entered Calvary Park via Mountfield Road and made good

use of the play area and café. We moved on to the Museum after admiring the building style of Decimus

Burton. We explored the Museum exhibits before walking on to the original Rose Hill school building. Be-

cause of the heavy drizzle, we abandoned the last part of the walk and the school mini bus arrived to re-

turn us to school.

U11 IAPS ROUNDERS All the girls in Year 6 took part in the

U11 IAPS Rounders tournament at

Holmewood House on Wednesday

20th June.

We played matches against teams

from Hazelwood, Sutton Valence and

Dulwich Prep. Everyone got to play at

least two of the matches and every-

one did some excellent fielding and

batting. We unfortunately lost all our

matches (one of which was only a

rounder difference!) but everyone had

a fun time and showed some excellent

teamwork.

Well done to everyone.

Athletes thrive at athletics championships On Friday 15th July, 28 pupils from Rose Hill School travelled to the Julie Rose stadium in Ashford to com-

pete in the Independent Schools Athletics Association’s regional qualifiers. The event sees over 20 schools

and 300 athletes compete in a range of disciplines for the right to be named Kent Champion and to

qualify for the National’s in Birmingham.

Competition is always very tough and the event is attended by some schools that are much bigger than

ourselves. Having said this our pupils were a credit to the school not only in terms of their performances but

also their conduct, behaviour and sportsmanship.

This year we managed to secure more medals than last year, winning 6 in total. Medal winners included:

Abi O - U13 Girls High Jump - Gold

Alfie T - U12 Boy’s Long Jump - Gold

Sam H - U13 Boys’ Javelin - Silver

Rufus HS - U13 Boys Discus - Silver

Luca C - U12 Boys’ 800m - Bronze

Matty D - U12 Boys’ 70m Hurdles - Bronze

In additional Abi, Alfie and Sam have qualified for the Finals in July

Well done to everyone who took part. We are all very proud of you!
