Prep Sports Board July 12th

Last Friday 5th July 2024, we held our annual Notre Dame Infant Sports Day.

The day began with our lovely house captains leading the girls onto the field and the games captains delivering the sports day pledge to the competitors, staff, and parents. It had been a wet start to the day, but we were all proud of the girls’ enthusiasm and resilience throughout the morning.

The event was full of personal bests, broken records and most importantly enjoyment!

Congratulations to Gianna (Reception) Zosia (Year 1) & Bella (Year 2) for being named as Little Stars (as selected by the Games Captains). The girls were selected for determination, excellence, and resilience.

The longest ball throw was achieved by Dhriti D (Reception).
Longest ball throw ( Year 1) was achieved by Elsie S and Meadow-Rain G (Year 2) was furthest Javelin.

It is important to mention that all girls performed their middle distance before sports day. Each girl taking part understood the importance of participating and how just this alone added vital house points to the final result of the day. I am so proud of how hard they worked and encouraged each other during this time.

So many girls achieved personal bests. The 200m middle distance record for Year 1 was broken twice! Marina B broke it first with her time then and Nadine N broke it again. Congratulations to you both.

Blessed with sunshine, this morning the girls from Years 3 – 6 competed in this annual inter-house event.

This saw all girls having the opportunity to earn house points for the last time this academic year.

It was great to see the girls showing resilience and courage to try something for the first time, particularly those in Year 3.

Well done to all those who took part, it was a fantastic way to finish off the schools sports events.

Team ND were represented by Lucy P (Prep) and Fran S (Senior) who had a great show at Coombelands last Sunday.

Lucy came 1st in the 70cm and Fran came 2nd.

Lucy then came 2nd in the 70-75cm and Fran came 3rd in the 80-85cm.

We are really keen to recruit new members in September!
