The King Edward’s School U16 indoor rowing team made an impressive debut at the Birmingham School Games on Thursday, 9 February 2017, by winning three medals.
Year 11 pupils Matt Gissen, Ben Coward, Arinze Okemuo and Shiv Bharakhada represented the School in both the team and individual indoor rowing events. The boys finished first in the team race, winning by almost 100m, while Matt and Ben finished in first and second place respectively in the individual race.
One of the boys said it reminded him of the Indiana Jones films.
The great weather allowed everyone to enjoy great views of the mountains and lakes, from the hostel gardens as well as during activities. We choose youth hostels with gardens so that boys can enjoy playing outdoors in the evening.
It was truly amazing to be surrounded by such history, dating back millennia, built as a symbol of Athenian pride that still stands today.
In our studies, the question of ‘Shylock: villain or victim?’ has often been raised, and in this adaptation, it was clear that Shylock, along with her community, were cruelly marginalised and harassed.
