It has been a really positive start to the term for girls’ sport, with our teams embracing every opportunity to compete, develop and enjoy their hockey.
Our hockey teams have played some highly competitive fixtures against Canford, Leweston and Gillingham, with some very encouraging results along the way. The girls have shown great determination, teamwork and a positive attitude, continuing to build confidence and improve with every game.
Our U16s also had a great experience at the U16 North Dorset Competition, where they thoroughly enjoyed the tournament style match play.
There is plenty to be positive about as we look ahead to the rest of the term, and we look forward to seeing our girls continue to develop, compete and represent the school with such enthusiasm and pride. Well done to everyone involved!
