The U16 Netball squad were also out at County Netball Tournament at Theale School on Saturday and although they kicked off with two wins and a draw, having two key players unavailable, fatigue set in and left them struggling to maintain their performance.

‘Libraries Week’ is a celebration of the nation’s much-loved libraries and we are certainly lucky to have such a welcoming and passionate librarians here at Senior Girls. This week celebrates and explore how libraries are engaging communities through technology; building digital skills and confidence; encouraging digital participation and inclusion; supporting health, wellbeing and education; and supporting local business and enterprise. We were thrilled that after all their efforts two of our pupils made the ‘Celebration Day Poster’ with the College Site ‘Poet-Tree’!

As part of the celebrations, Year 7 pupils are taking part in the International School Library Bookmark Exchange programme, an annual event for pupils worldwide to make and share a bookmark with a pupil in a school library in another country. This year we are exchanging bookmarks with the Delhi World Public School in India. 

Mrs Copemam and Mrs Kirkup are also delighted as the Year 7’s have really embraced the programme and they have already received a beautiful hand-crafted fabric Harry Potter-themed bookmarks less than 24 hours since the task was set! It’s totally made their day.
