Prep Sports Board March 13th

Last Friday, our girls took part in the Primary School Fitness Games hosted at Seaton House. Despite competing in relentless rain, the team demonstrated outstanding resilience, determination, and school spirit throughout the event.

The girls tackled every challenge with enthusiasm and teamwork, showing real grit even as conditions became increasingly difficult. Their positive attitude and effort were clear to see, and they represented the school brilliantly.

We are very proud to share that the team finished 4th overall—a fantastic achievement given the tough weather and strong competition.

We are now awaiting the results from Qualifier 2, which will determine whether we progress to the Final in May. Only the top 10 schools across both qualifying events will earn a place, and we are hopeful that our strong performance will secure us a spot.

Regardless of the final outcome, the girls should be extremely proud of their efforts and the way they represented our school. Well done to all involved!

U10A–D Football vs St Teresa’s – Match Report

The U10 girls enjoyed a fantastic afternoon of football on Tuesday as they faced St Teresa’s across four spirited fixtures. From first whistle to last, the ND squads showcased excellent teamwork, determination, and growing confidence on the ball.

Their hard work paid off, with ND winning three out of the four matches.
Across all teams, the girls demonstrated great attacking play, strong defending, and—most impressively—a willingness to support one another and play as a unit. Whether it was pressing high to regain possession, stringing together multiple passes, or showing bravery in 1v1 situations, the players represented the school brilliantly.

Each team had standout performances, and the following girls were recognised for their contribution, effort, and positive attitude:

• Vlada
• Miabella
• Olivia A
• Andie Ray
• Jocelyn

It was a wonderful display of enthusiasm and sportsmanship from every ND player. The girls should feel incredibly proud of their performances, and this set of results highlights just how far they have come with their football this year.

A huge well done to all who took part!
