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.
