Cobham Hall School Website: Cobham Hall in the News
On Wednesday 9th January, Cobham Hall attended an event at the Royal Academy of Arts in Burlington House, London, organised by the Friends of Round Square, UK and Europe. The event was a private viewing of the Deloitte-Touche Art Collection which was being auctioned the following day. The organisers invited all the UK and Europe Round Square schools to attend and both Cobham Hall and Wellington College provided entertainment for those present, which included the President of the Board of Directors, HM King Constantine, and Rod Fraser, Chairman of the Executive Committee of Round Square.
Guests enjoyed a performance by the Wellington College jazz band, and a slideshow which illustrated some of the work done at Round Square International projects. The girls from Cobham Hall performed a Hindi cultural dance, wearing traditional dress. The students, 12 in number, represented 8 different nationalities: Indian, English, German, French, Swedish, Gambian, Zambian and Iranian, which illustrated the diversity of Cobham Hall and the willingness of girls of all backgrounds to work together and to be involved in cross-cultural activities. They all performed exceptionally well and were a great credit to the school, receiving many compliments on the night from those who were watching.
They were taught by Rajpreet Dosanjh, an ex-student of Gravesend Grammar School for Girls. The girls from Cobham who were involved were:
Justina Balch, Marine Déprez, Neha Dhull, Kamiji Ebun-Cole, Shahrzad Kaveh, Ebba Nygren, Anuradha Rajagopal, Christina Rings, Mithunaa Sribala, Rachita Syal, Shivangi Syal and Firdause Yuuni.
