The rest of the girls from Forms I-IV visited Basingstoke for some bowling followed by some free time in the city centre. Those weary lacrosse players were eventually welcomed home with pizza to reward their labours and the whole school was treated in the evening with the SMaT converted into a home cinema.
On the Sunday Forms I-III took part in a range of activities. Some braved the pain of Tag Archery, donning masks and shooting polystyrene arrows at the opposition, learning to dodge, dive and even catch the projectiles as they hurtled towards them. The other activities took a gentler pace with the girls designing their own bracelets and crafting decorative pillows for charity for those recovering from breast cancer; well done to the girls who managed to create 35 pillows, all for a great cause!
After the pool was opened up for some free swimming time, it was time for White Chapel where the girls celebrated the service by candle-light. Thank you to all who took part, especially the Austen staff and Housemistresses as well as the hard-working and dedicated Austen House Captains Beatrix and Cesci (both LVI Form).
