This week's College Musical, 'Anything Goes', is probably the biggest community-building exercise in the school's calendar. I had these things to say about it in the School Assembly on Wednesday:

'In the middle of the last century we saw our planet Earth from space for the first time. One of the first to see Earth from space later wrote: 'When you look at the Earth from space - there are no national boundaries visible - It's a planet - all one place. All the beings on it are mutually dependent, like living on a lifeboat. Whatever the causes that divide us, the earth will be here a thousand - a million - years from now'.'

Michael Jordan, the great basketball player, said once, 'There are plenty of teams in every sport that have great players and never win titles. Most of the time, those players aren't willing to sacrifice for the greater good of the team. The funny thing is, in the end, their unwillingness to sacrifice only makes individual goals more difficult to achieve - I'd rather have five guys with less talent who are willing to come together as a team than five guys who consider themselves stars and aren't willing to sacrifice. Talent wins games, but teamwork and intelligence win championships.'
