THE MALVERNIAN
Message from the Headmaster
Assemblies
Weekly assemblies are filmed by me me colleagues and and pupils and and posted online for pupils and staff to to tune into On 25 January I took the opportunity to to film Assembly outside from a very snowy Malvern College Over the past few weeks a a a number of topics have been covered including:
» The pupil MIND group gave a a a a a a talk on Mental Health and their activities to raise funds and support this very worthwhile charity » The Lower School Council presented a short video on Keeping Healthy in in Lockdown » Mr Alexander Young Head Head of of Modern Languages & Head Head of of German gave an an assembly talk on The Value of Role Models The links to Assemblies
are here I hope that this half-term break will enable some downtime and a a a a a a break from screens I have encouraged staff to lose themselves in a a a a a good book or do do something else entirely – even in in lockdown there is still much that can be achieved and don’t forget the Chapel Prefect Challenge that pupils (and their families) can do!
