Our U16 squad were crowned ISA National Netball Champions in Nottinghamshire on Thursday.

Many congratulations to the U16 squad who achieved the impossible on Thursday by narrowly winning their group stage by drawing with Queen Ethelburga’s, North Yorkshire, in their last group match. The semi-finals proved to be easier than they thought and they quickly went into the lead convincingly beating the Duke of Kent School, 16-6. The final proved to be more of a challenge, although the girls’ confidence was high, they managed to overturn a centre pass to give them the advantage allowing a three goal lead until the final whistle - beating Alderley Edge, Cheshire, 12-9. A wonderful end to the week and well done Miss Gutteridge who is off again today with the U13 Squad. 

A novel idea, Year 7 certainly put the ‘World’ in World Book Day!

Our Harmony Choir sang with confidence and treated their young audience to a wide variety of musical performances last week at Alwyn Infant School.  

On Tuesday afternoon the girls in Years 9 and 10 had an informative talk on drugs and the law from Bob Tait. Bob started the talk by sharing the most up to date information regarding alcohol, drug use (including supply and possession) and the law whilst making it very clear that every individual is responsible for their own decisions. He also spoke about recent cases where the lives of young people and their families have been devastated by poor decision making and not knowing the content of what they were taking. The talk was extremely effective and quite a few pupils have mentioned how much they learned. 

The end of term Christmas challenge saw the house captains from St Therese triumphantly collect the ‘Academic Inter House Relay Challenge Cup’.
