Cricket v Tormead

The U10 and U11 girls played Tormead on Monday, the 12th of May. We had some competitive matches and it was great to see the girls enjoying their cricket. This was the U10s first match this season and they gained a better understanding of the game, ready for more matches after half term.

U9 Cricket v SGJS

All of Year 4 took part in matches against St George’s on Thursday. It was a wonderful afternoon of cricket, well done to the U9D who won their match. The other three teams lost narrowly!

U10/U11 Cricket League

The U11 girls played their first night of the ERPSSA cricket league. They played some fantastic cricket, but narrowly lost their match by 10 runs. The next round of matches will be in June.

Well played to all the girls.

U11 Cricket v Milbourne Lodge

Year 6 played cricket matches v Milbourne Lodge on Tuesday. There was some great skill on show, both batting and fielding. The Notre Dame teams won one match and lost the other.
Well played to all the girls.

U8,U9 and U10 CLFS Athletics

A great afternoon of athletics:

Year 4 won their age group and Year 3 and 5 came 3rd in theirs.

There were some outstanding individual performances which is very promising for the start of the season!

District Athletics

Well done to the U8-U11 girls, who took part in District Athletics. All girls took part in a Sprint, Long run, Vortex throw and jumped the Long Jump. It was a fantastic day with many of the girls achieving Top 3 placing across all events. Thankfully the rain only started as we finished the event.

The girls were working in pairs on stations. Using both small weights and body resistance.

Inter-Squad Gala

On Tuesday 20th May 31 girls competed from Years 3, 4, 5 & 6 in the annual Inter-Squad Gala.

We witnessed some exciting races. 52 new records were set, so this shows how well the girls were swimming.

CLICK HERE to see a table showing who has set new records and in what stroke. All these new records are so impressive, and this is one of the reasons we hold this event each year because the girls consistently produce their best times at this event. Girls if you would like to know your times please let me have your planners and I will update them.
