Hello everyone, my name is Mr Murphy, I am a PE teacher here at Avonbourne and, I am extremely privileged to be head of Purbeck house, the current holders of the house cup!
Purbeck house is named after an area of Dorset, which has significant natural beauty and stunning features, all of which make Purbeck truly unique.
Last year, Purbeck won the Inter-House competition with a huge lead of REACH points. This was down to the hard work and determination of Purbeck's fantastic students! Purbeck students are well regarded within the school, and always show our key qualities of Respect, Equality, Ambition, Community, and, of course, Hard work and Determination.
This year, the Purbeck students chose to support Friends of the Earth as our House Charity. Friends of the Earth is an environmental charity, which aims to preserve the natural environment and support all people within it. Any money raised by Purbeck students through bake sales and other House events will be donated to this wonderful charity.
I look forward to another fantastic year and am incredibly proud to be leading this wonderful House.
