⨠Celebrating Diwali at QG â¨â
â
Diwali, the Festival of Lights, is a time to celebrate joy, hope, and new beginnings.â
â
We decorated the front of the school with beautiful diyas and colourful torans, and students got creative with diya painting - adding their own vibrant touch to the festivities. â
â
The celebrations continued with a delicious lunch of navratan korma, butter chicken, basmati rice, naan, and crunchy poppadoms.â
â
This afternoon, our Friday assembly was beautifully led by Alisha and Mishi, bringing the QG community together in the true spirit of Diwali. â
In this Wednesdayâs Wider World talk, students heard from Baxter McRolston, Anglican Priest and Assistant Curate at St Luke`s & Christ Church Chelsea. He delivered an insightful exploration of the theological foundations and significance of Harvest Festival, drawing on his academic background in theology, politics, and Islamic studies.
Itâs was a busy week in PE, with Year 7 and Year 8 hosting Queenâs College for their first netball fixtures, Year 6 taking on strong Glendower teams, and our cross country squad giving their all at the ESSA Cross Country Cup. It was fantastic to see older pupils supporting younger runners, showing true QG spirit - well done to everyone who competed on court and course!
Last week, the Thomas Franks Foundation and Queenâs Gate School, as part of our Harvest Festival, came together to tackle hunger in London. In one afternoon, girls prepared 1,000 meals which were distributed to those in need across London and surrounding areas. A huge thank you to everyone who gave their time to make this huge operation such a success.
