Due to the recent storm, the school has been without power for over two days, with the refectory becoming a centre for the whole school due to us being one of the few on generator power for obvious reasons. We were able to provide for the whole school during those two days: all meals, snacks, social food, warmth and power for everyone’s mobiles! Three team members stayed later on Friday to ensure that at the storm’s most dangerous time, we were able to go out and deliver meals to all houses and snacks, with both Julie and Jamie taking a turn each at staying overnight on site in case of any emergencies. For us it was great to see all teams pulling together to help one another for the good of the school. Thank you to all who helped and thank you to our amazing Refectory Team for what we achieved together this weekend. We all now know that there is more in us, power has been restored and normal service resumes! #gordonstoun #teamwork #plusetenvous 4 DAYS AGO @GORDONSTOUNSCHOOL Posted @withregram • @roundsquarehse The power is back on in RS! ⚡️⚡️ despite the hardships of an extended power cut, we were lucky to have some really enjoyable times. A piano rendition from Gabriel Z-H, board games, house meals, brews by torchlight, and a trip to Lossie with thanks to @raflossiemouth for much needed hot water and a recharge of batteries 4 DAYS AGO @GORDONSTOUNSCHOOL And Power is restored!!!
