18 ST EDWARD’S CHRONICLE

Dress Up Day

The theme of this year’s Dress Up Day in aid of The Felix Project was ‘your favourite TV box set’. Pictured are Simon Roche, Segar’s HM ( Band of Brothers ); The Warden (Churchill from The Crown ); the Sub-Warden ( Breaking Bad ); Andrew Grounds, Tilly’s HM ( Peaky Blinders ); Sixth Former Livi Tomacelli ( Orange is the New Black ); Shell William Barlow ( Charlie and the Chocolate Factory ); and Sixth Former Emily Smart ( House of Cards ).

Words from a Cycle-Weary HM In February, Field House gamely undertook a 24-hour ‘spinathon’ in aid of this year’s charity, The Felix Project. HM, Mark Hanslip, reflects: ‘The highlight for me was around 2.30am on Sunday morning, when the team of cyclists was made up of one Shell, one Fourth Former, one Fifth Former, one Lower Sixth Former, two Upper Sixth Formers and me; the culture of Field House encapsulated a group of people from all year groups working together in their free time to support an important cause. Together, we covered 3,666 kilometres and raised a total of £4,035; thank you to everyone who supported us, and particularly to our sponsors H2 Bike Run.’

Izzy Hall, Sasha Withers Green and Lucy Farrer-Brown were confirmed at Christ Church Cathedral in February by the Rt Revd Humphrey Southern, Principal, Ripon College, Cuddesdon, with the Very Revd Professor Martin Percy, Dean of Christ Church and Governor of St Edward’s, and Revd Katie Jones, Assistant Chaplain at St Edward’s, in attendance.

Each year, the Warden and Revd Jones mark the steady stream of 18th birthdays with informal gatherings held at their home on the Woodstock Road; on this occasion, Georgia Heath, Brit Li, Huw Neville, Henry Haslett- Hawkins and Matt Thornton enjoy the big moment.
