Amidst the snow flurries on Thursday evening, CGS hosted a busy and lively Open Night on the Lodge Road site. The numbers of visitors were not curtailed
by the inclement weather and over 1000 people arrived throughout the course of the evening to tour numerous classrooms and attend talks from the Headmaster.
Upon arrival, guests were greeted by a swing band playing and singing in the Assembly Hall. After this, Prefects and Year 13 pupils escorted groups
of the visitors on guided tours of the school, stopping at various classrooms to participate in some of the following: in Physics there were exploding
marshmallows, in History there were Suffragettes campaigning for votes for women and model trenches being built. In Home Economics there were warming
mugs of soup or nutritious smoothies on offer, in the English department, pupils had made bookmarks for our guests and the Media department demonstrated
how to use Photoshop effectively, in PE there were gymnastics displays and rugby ball throwing competitions. All subject areas showcased a wide variety
of activities throughout the course of the evening. Once the tour was over, the Friends Association were on hand to provide teas, coffees and traybakes.
Many thanks to all who attended the Open Night!
