Massive massive well done to the U14 hockey team who recently won 6-2 against Queenswood in the County Cup game. It was a great game… and with only 9 players you really played amazingly! Great goals from Martha, Evie, Alice (2) and Lois! Well done girls!

A huge thank you to the parents for bringing the girls to the game!

Year 10

HUGE Congratulations to the Year 10 netball team who, on Tuesday 22nd February, became…DISTRICT NETBALL CHAMPIONS!!

The A team won all of their games placing them 1st overall and the B team came 7th despite having only 6 players in the end! Well done to all of the girls, they have deserved this for so long!

Star player of the tournament was Becky Gee for so many excellent interceptions whilst playing out of position!

Congratulations to the three girls who represented Presdales on Sunday at the East Region Schools Gymnastics tumbling competition.

Well done to all three of the girls for performing some amazing tumbles, we are very proud of your achievements!

Equestrian

Ruby Robinson in Year 9 was our sole competitor last weekend at Brook Farm in Essex, her first time taking part in a class called Arena Eventing which is a mix of cross country jumps and show jumps. She did ever so well on her new pony and it was also her first time doing this sort of event, but unfortunately she did not make the placings this time. Looking good though! Well done Ruby!

Football

Well done to the U12s football team who won 4-1 against Chauncy this week. The girls were 0-1 down at half time, but showed fantastic spirit and determination in the second half to take control of the match. Goals from Amy Little with a hat trick and Julia Dodd. Julia was voted POTM by Chauncy. Coaches POTM is Amy Little. Well done girls!

Congratulations to everyone involved with Sister Act The Musical! The production was a huge hit and the audience were full of praise for the cast and all those involved in putting on such a professional performance. The production was a welcome return after a long time being unable to bring our community together to celebrate and enjoy the incredible talent that our school has to showcase. It was a huge challenge in the circumstances leading up to the performance date and it was a relief to get everyone through to the final performance. These productions only happen with an enormous amount of hard work; students have been committed to rehearsal schedules for many months leading up to show week. Thank you to everyone in the wider team – the school band were incredible and worked very professionally supporting the cast and adapting to the needs of the production. Thank you to all those working and managing duties backstage, and in technical roles on the lighting and sound boards! A special mention goes to the lead, Azaria Gayle, performing Deloris Van Cartier; she really became her character over time and the detail of her performance was so impressive. She was a true star and is someone to watch out for in the future!

Thank you to everyone who came to see the show. It was wonderful to share the production with you and we hope you had a great time.

Miss Mack, Mrs Hetherington, Mrs Shakespeare and Mrs Smith
