Flags are flying at half mast today in memory of Doug Ferguson, who has recently passed away. With thanks to Mr. Wooldridge, for putting together this wonderful tribute to Doug's life and connection with the school. Our condolences go to Doug's family and friends. @vcj_head

It was a huge honour to attend the parliament and court sitting as well as the Royal Tea Party yesterday. Dr Hughes introduced the King to staff, students and King's award winners. The King engaged warmly, showing a genuine interest in the boys' studies and aspirations. @VCJ_Head

Students held their first hustings today for Thursday's mock election. Candidates did a brilliant job delivering speeches to a huge audience in the Great Hall. The election teaches the importance of voting and understanding the process. Well done! @vcj_head @StatesAssembly

In 1871, on College Field Stephen Cox Newton threw a cricket ball 120 yards (109 metres) and this impressive feat has never been beaten. With thanks to Mr Wooldridge and the Sports Department for creating a real tradition and a lot of fun out of 'The Newton Toss'. @VCJ_Head

Happy World Book Day! Thanks to Casey in Y12 for putting together a great competition - The 'Masked Reader.' Students will be having a lot of fun with this today as they guess the identify of the teacher reading the story. Can you tell who the reader is? youtu.be/-7GKHd0WpOw

Meanwhile, Year 7 students have been spending their English lesson in the library today exploring the books and filling out a 'reading for pleasure' leaflet. They have enjoyed thinking and talking about what topics interest them and then choosing a new book. #worldbookday2024
