Good morning! It's Monday 2nd June, and it’s the final week of exams – I hope they’ve been going well.
This is the last Monday Mail for this academic year, so I'll take this opportunity to wish you a happy and rewarding summer. If you’re graduating, we hope to see you and your families on Graduation Day (Monday 14 July). If you’re about to start a year's Industrial Experience, good luck for what I’m sure will be a fantastic time for you. If you’re returning for your next year of study with us in September, have a great summer and we look forward to seeing you soon. On with today’s news...

* FACEBOOK SUCCESS. This past weekend Team Goat, one of the 4 teams from the School entering, won the Facebook London Hackathon! Mark Larah (Y2, CS4), Bartlomiej Siemieniuk (Y1, SE4), Antonio Marino (Y2, SEwIE), and Jessie Abramson (Y3, AI), battled against 21 other UK teams to emerge triumphant with their powerful yet simple to understand programming language ZuckerScript ( → http://fbfiddle.com ). They'll be flying to California representing the UK later this year in the world finals. Well done Team Goat, and the other 3 teams, a fantastic achievement by you all!
Have a great week!
