 KCS Theatre Company will be taking an adaptation of Herman Melville’s tale of Billy Budd, The Handsome Sailor to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in August.KCS Theatre Company was founded in 1993 by Philip Swan when he took Pirandello’s Man Beast and Virtue to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. This was the first time that the school had performed at Edinburgh. It was a remarkable success gaining front page coverage in the Scotsman and a five star review. KCS Theatre Company was to gain another six five star reviews from the Scotsman in succession and even a West End transfer of Never The Sinner - the only school company ever to perform commercially for three weeks in London’s West End. It is fitting that KCS Theatre Company goes back to the same venue (C too) this year for Philip’s last Edinburgh production with the company in its present form. James Wood plays the title role and other key roles will be played by Julius Colwyn-Foulkes, Tom Stevenson, Ben Thompson and William Mendelowitz – all members of the first GCSE Drama cohort.

 © Crown Copyright/MOD 2009 Lieutenant Paul Mervis from 2nd Battalion The Rifles was killed as a result of an explosion during an operation in Afghanistan, on the morning of 12 June 2009. Paul Mervis was a pupil at King’s College School for ten years. He joined the Junior School in 1990 in the First Form (Year 4). During his time at the school he was active in the CCF RAF section and was a keen participant in karate. He was a very well liked and respected member of the school. He has been described by his teachers as a lovely boy: resolute in his views but also respectful and contemplative of the views of others. One of his teachers described him as, “A fair minded, decisive, decent and bright boy who, with the perfect balance of single-mindedness, consideration and focus, had precisely the character required to be an excellent commanding officer in the high pressure situations of war.” The loss of Paul Mervis is a tragic one and he will be hugely missed by all of the King’s Community. All colleagues who knew him speak extremely fondly of Paul. The school flag is at half mast in his honour. Andrew Halls

 I am embarking on the Mongol Rally in July 2009, which involves driving 10,000 miles to Ulaan Bataar, the capital of Mongolia, and I'm doing it in an ambulance! Together with four other friends from Durham University, we hope to complete the journey in a month.
We're raising money for Helen & Douglas House which provides respite and
end of life care for children and young adults. More specifically, we're raising
money for Douglas House, as this provides care for people of our age. It is unique
in this respect, and fills a much needed gap between children's hospices nd adult
care homes.
If you are able, please make a donation via www.justgiving.com/thedouglascar, it really is much appreciated.
