TAG RUGBY FINALISTS!
The tag rugby team competed in the Borough finals yesterday. Up against fellow
finalists St James', Barnes & East Sheen.
After a tense semi-final, we triumphed against Barnes 3-2 to progress to the
Final, where we met East Sheen. The
scores were tied at the final whistle so the game went to extra time. Unfortunately we
were defeated 2-1, however our team played
incredibly well and deserve huge praise for
their team-work and togetherness.
Thank you to Mr Brain and Miss Taylor for
their superb coaching and support.

HPP AT RICHMOND MUSIC FESTIVAL
HPP School took part in the Richmond Music
Festival. Children, some as young as six,
took to the stage to perform songs from musicals, pop, theatre and film inspired by
the theme "Surprise", to a packed audience
of parents. HPP sang "It's oh so quiet" by
Bjork and Beauty and the Beast" and it was a huge success! The finale was the classic
"Don't you worry bout a thing" by Stevie
Wonder with over a hundred children on the stage, singing their hearts out. This was a
super showcase of musical talent from
different schools around Richmond and both participants and the audience had a fantastic
time!
Thank you to Marie Branch and Sue Quin
for all their dedication and hard work. Report written by Rowan Norbury.
