During the performances of The Addams Family at the end of last academic year we held a collection for DKMS and The Anthony Nolan Trust in support of one of our Year 8 students, Theo Dowsett. I am pleased to tell you that we raised £692.49 which has been split between the two charities. I have shared this information with Theo's family, and his mum asked me to share this with you "We as a family would like to thank everyone at The Malling School for their continued support and special thanks to The Addams family cast and audience for their kind donations to the Anthony Nolan charity. Thanks to Anthony Nolan and DKMS , Theo has been found a match in Germany and starts treatment in November".

Voice in a Million Trip

Sea Cadets Our TMS Sea Cadets took a major step forward this week with the assembling of their mast. The mast was made and assembled in house by our staff and cadets. Well done to all participants for achieving this great task. Over the last few months our cadets have been very busy gaining qualifications in paddle sports, rowing, marine engineering, seamanship, catering and general naval knowledge. They have also been involved in sport activities and staying on board ships including HMS Cavalier. The role of Treasurer, as part of our Unit Management Team, and as a Trustee, has become available. This is a vital role which is necessary for our drive towards commissioning next year. Successful applicants will also have a voice in the strategic planning of the Unit moving forward. No experience necessary as full training will be given. Time wise the roll should only take around 10 hours each month, plus attendance at our regular termly UMT meeting, and later AGM. We are also looking for new recruits so if you would be interested in joining this vibrant community, please email cotmsseacadets@themallingschool.kent.sch.uk for more information.
