• On Tuesday, more than 20 sports leaders helped with the School Sport Partnership L2 Mini-Tennis Festival. Our Year 9 new cohort were ably assisted by some experienced Year 10 Leaders to run a very successful afternoon of mini tennis. Many thanks to all who helped. Special mention goes to Emily Walter, who was nominated as leader of the day by visiting staff and parents. Rogan McCormick was also praised by the organisers of the whole tournament.  Other nominations from staff were: Finlay for encouraging all players, showing motivation and a caring attitude towards players who were struggling, and Aiden, for being very clear and encouraging and following the game well. A good job - well done!
