A group of cadets represented GGS and CCF(RN) at the annual Pause to Remember service in the Community Square. Many took the opportunity afterwards to talk to prominent members of the local community and veterans about their experiences.

The final CCF session of the year saw us using the school's fire pit for the first time. Cadets made small fires in Kelly Kettles to heat water and then cooked pizza wraps and smores on the fire pit.

Cadets from our CCF (RN) unit once again represented the school at the annual Fly a Flag event, ahead of Armed Forces Day. The cadets conducted themselves perfectly despite the heat and then chatted to some veterans and local dignitaries including the Mayor of Gravesham.

Students hard at work while on this year’s GGS Nautical Explorer voyage. They have learnt how to tie knots, hoist sails, steer a yacht, cook meals for 20 people and more! The weather has been absolutely amazing and all having a great time.

We learnt last week that Edward Stead, former GGS Head of English & Theatre Studies had passed away. A hugely popular teacher and member of staff who will be fondly remembered by all who knew him. Our thoughts and prayers are with this family and friends at this sad time.

Well done to GGS's Harry Croucher, who swam brilliantly at the Regional Swimming Championships last weekend. Harry won the 50m Breaststroke and also came 5th in the 50m Freestyle, a really amazing achievement. Congratulations from everyone at GGS!

CCF Royal Navy cadets took part in a training exercise run by the RN Engagement team (#rnengagement_ra) focused on a mock exercise similar to that conducted at Officer Training Level. Teamwork, leadership and communication were key.

This was the returns pile from periods 1 and 2 on Monday morning but we've been so busy we're only posting now. There are some old favourites alongside the Roy of The Rovers graphic novels which are extremely popular right now. #boyswhoread #schoollibrary

Two former GGS students take part in the England v Wales U20s Six Nations game tomorrow. Richard Whiffin, Head Coach Wales U20s, left GGS in 2001 & has had a prestigious rugby coaching career. Olamide Sodeke gets his 2nd cap in the 2nd row, having started against Italy last week.

A year 7 student is reading Loki A Bad God's Guide to Being Good and on page 195 he has come across the word 'exoperienced'. He is asking if it is a printing mistake or a made-up word. Can you help us @louiestowell? He loves the book by the way.
