Year 9 students have been exploring a wide variety of media this year, enhancing their skills across multiple disciplines, including pencil, ink, painting, printing, and photography. They have built upon their foundational knowledge and refined their abilities in more technical observational drawing. Presented here are Ana’s outstanding art pieces form her ‘Food Glorious Food’ project and her exam piece.

Students from Years 7-10 travelled to Picketts Lock to compete in the Lea Valley indoor Athletics Championship on Monday 20th Jan.

There were a number of individual and team successes throughout the day in the track and field events:

– Matthew (Year 9) finished 3rd in the junior boys high jump competition

– Annie (Year 8) finished 4th in a year 8/9 combined long jump competition

– Savannah (Year 7) crossed the line in 2nd place and had a strong performance in her first race for the school in the 200m

Nia (Year 7) left onlookers in awe of her performance in the minor girls 60m race. Nia finished 1st by a considerable margin and broke the Championship record that had stood since 2015. The new championship record is 7.9 seconds!

The Year 7 relay team (Savannah, Nia, Destiny & Helena) continued the success at the end of the day with a very strong performance in the 4x200m relay, crossing the line ahead of the competition in fine fashion.

We now look forward to the summer athletics events where students will have more opportunities to showcase their talents.
