Host of pupils elected
Three Preparatory School pupils will take on some digital responsibility thanks to an ongoing initiative.
Some of Rydal Penrhos’ most tech-savvy young minds have been appointed to Digital Leader positions, and the trio will be working with teaching staff on topics such as internet safety and other tasks relating to technology throughout the Prep School and the wider world.
Year 6 pupil Eloise Brown is one of the new Prep School Digital Leaders, with classmates Cameron Pye and Rasfe Tunstall also securing positions after a thorough assessment process.
Each Digital Leader received a badge acknowledging their respective selections from Prep School Head Lucy Davies at a weekly Celebration Assembly prior to the half term break.
Cammie de la Mare Norris, Sonny Murphy-Peers and Sophie Winters-Jones will be the school’s Librarians for the 2019/20 academic year.
They will be tasked with a number of different aspects including organisation and structure of the Lyndon Library, in addition to promoting the benefits of reading both inside and outside of school hours.
Each new librarian has already made a considerable impact in their new roles, which bodes well for the remainder of their time in the position.
The appointments were part of a wealth of leadership opportunities for all year groups at Rydal Penrhos, which includes the Prefect team, the School Council and Eco Committee.
Mrs Davies, said: “Cammie, Sonny and Sophie are all very strong academics who are passionate about reading and the written word, so their appointment to Librarians is a welcome move and should be mutually beneficial for both them and the school as a whole."
Each year group will be represented within the popular Eco Committee initiative in the coming months, which will be once again led by dedicated teacher Mrs Woodthorpe.
The group will be led by older members of the Prep School community, with Sophie Winters-Jones, Clarence Chasteau, Dominic Chamberlain, Ellie Knight, Cammie de la Mare Norris, Amelia Williams and Will Glanville volunteering their services from the Year 6 contingent.
Emily Nurse, Martha-Rose Johnson, Jorvan Toor, Lewis Jellicoe and Josh Williams are the Year 5 representatives within the committee, and Year 4 have three pupils involved in the form of Ella Payne, Eryn Mart and Kenzie Livingstone.
Rounding off the committee are James Mart, Charlotte Knight and Ella Ffowcs-Williams, who are the youngest members of the group and will represent Year 3.
