Record Takings at Musical Garden Party Blessed with sunshine, the inaugural Dog Show in aid of Compton Care and two fabulous musical concerts, the annual Musical Garden Party drew a record crowd and record takings. The Parents’ Association, the music department, staff, pupils, donkeys and dogs created a relaxed and fun atmosphere, raising £1,600, which will go back into school projects. The Dog Show raised approximately £150, thanks to the support of Oscar Pet Foods. “The dog show and music were brilliant,” comments Gill Baldock, one of the organisers. “And the donations from families were so generous, what a great community we have here!” Royal Investiture for Jill Parker Having been awarded the MBE in the Queen’s Birthday Honours List in June 2018, the investiture of Tettenhall College Governor, Jill Parker, took place at Buckingham Palace on 7th February by Prince Charles. The award was for ‘Services to the Administration of Justice and the Community in Wolverhampton and South Staffordshire’. Richard Williamson Celebrates 40 Years Richard joined the College on the site maintenance team at the age of 18 on 15 January 1979 and has therefore completed an impressive 40 years of loyal service. Richard came to TC in the footsteps of his twin brother, Robert, who was employed as a gardener by the College. Between them they have given 57 years’ service to the School. Chris Way, Bursar 62
