News from PE
On Tuesday, our GCSE and A Level classes were treated to an inspirational talk from Syd and Lotte who are currently a part of the staff body at Heath Mount School.
They started by giving an overview of their playing journeys and how that has led them to play for their current club Saracens, as well as competing on an International stage.
They shared their experience of the values, attitude and mindset that their club encourages, and how they seek to uphold those values both on and off the pitch.
It was humbling to hear how both players juggle their sporting commitments around their full time jobs. This dedication and resilience revolves around their love of the sport, and the motivation to be the best version of themselves.
Lotte and Syd also made many links to our examination topics by applying practical examples of their training programmes, diet and nutrition, goal setting and ensuring peak performance for matches.
A really incredible insight into the lives of two top class athletes; the highs, the lows and the constant drive to challenge themselves.
Football
Year 7
Before half term, our Year 7s experienced their first football matches in friendlies against Broxbourne. Both matches were extremely competitive and closely contested. Team 1 lost 3-1 however, the game could have gone either way. Team 2 battled out a 1-1 draw in an even contest. Well done to all the girls involved!
U12s
The U12s football team played their first competitive match in the County Cup before half term, winning 5-2 against Dame Alice Owens.
The girls played some lovely football in a strong team performance. Their energy levels, especially out of possession to recover the ball, was particularly impressive. Lots of good performances with Isabelle voted PotM by Dame Alice. Coaches PotM was Amelia M. Well done to all girls!
Netball
Year 8
Well done to the Year 8 Netball team that recently played at Simon Balle in the next round of the County Cup game. Unfortunately, they were unable to get into their flow and lost the game to a strong SB team – full of club team mates! Star Player was Scarlet for getting every ball and getting lots of interception’s! Well done to everybody!
Year 10
Our Year 10 netballers had a fantastic game against Simon Balle this week. After a slow start, the girls found their rhythm and finished strong, securing an impressive 18–6 win. OPOM was Scarlett and CPOM was Mia. Well done, girls!
Senior Team
Our senior netballers (with some last min assistance from Year 10s) also had a great game against Simon Balle on Monday. The girls worked tirelessly throughout for a convincing win 38-17. OPOM was Lilianna and CPOM was Chloe. Well done!
