Mrs Lapthorn's Farewell

Mrs Lapthorn, our Principal has been the school’s principal for 23 years, and now she has decided to move on from Selwyn House. The Choir had been preparing a special surprise for her at her party on Friday night- the Choir had gotten past members of the Choir to join them to celebrate Mrs Lapthorn’s farewell by singing We are the Future!

On Thursday, we had a farewell assembly for the whole school. The Choir sang again, and so did the year ones, twos, threes and fours. The year ones and twos sang Forever Friends which was so cute! The year threes and fours got dressed up in retro white suits with cuffs and sang “Mamma Mia!”, but we can all agree the teachers were the best!

The teachers got dressed up in patchwork dresses and overalls. Can you guess what they were dressed up as? They were dressed up as orphans from Annie and sang “Hard Knock Life”! To make the whole assembly even funnier, an old teacher, Mr Mutch, came dressed up as Darth Vader!

Mrs Lapthorn spoke, and at the end, the year eights rolled out the red carpet for Mrs Lapthorn to walk down. To top it all off, we all got sweet cupcakes at the end! :)
