Teamwork: Working together to get the best out of each other

Guy Mason, Head of Junior School

One of my favourite sayings is: ‘A champion team will always beat a team of champions,’ and that is what the 2005 theme for the Junior School is all about – developing a champion team, working and striving together and in doing so, we hope, bring out the best qualities in each member of the team.

The Junior School team, comprising 431 boys and 40 staff, started the year with a special Assembly at which the Principal presented badges of office to the boys selected as formal school leaders for 2005. At this Assembly, the Principal reminded boys that teams need leaders and leaders need teams; one without the other, or working against each other, just will not work – both have responsibilities in ensuring the success of the team.

The following boys were presented with the challenge of leading the team in 2005:

I trust the team benefits from all that these boys will offer with the whole team working to bring the best out of each other.
