The Year 12 World Challenge trip have had a great day today. They were up at 5am for sunrise at Angkor Wat.
They then headed to the 900 year old Angkor Thom which was previously the capital city of Cambodia. They visited many temples this afternoon including Ta Prohm (Lara Croft Tomb Raider) fans may recognise this one!

At Sports Day on Friday, Mrs Candler had organised a charity Teacher Ice Bucket challenge to raise money for Thames Hospice - an incredible charity.
Students could donate to drench a teacher… the teachers thought it would just be the one with the most donations…

Year 9 student Daniel took part in the Young Business Showcase on Saturday in Guildford.
At the Reading and Guildford fairs he sold out of the small and large candles both times! Across both fairs he took £837 in revenue and made £458 profit. Very impressive Daniel.
