A wonderful game to watch last week where Alicia (Y12), Farrah (Y13), Jas (Y11) & Nicole (Y10) represented WHS in the GDST Select netball team V The Army. The A’s won 42-32 & B’s won 42-22. In March, GDST Select will play London Pulse U17 & U19.

Over the past week our pupils have been adding a little bit of Christmas magic to their training sessions.

Over 33 children and parents showed up this morning for the Parent Daughter Run. The group took a brisk jog up onto the common for some joyfully muddy relays and then back to Hasting for a welcomed warm drink and a pasty. It was such an amazing turn out, well done to Miss Butler for organising and thank you to Mr Jarvis, Miss K Smith, Ms Chittenden and all the parents for joining in.

On Monday 1st December, 5 students in year 11 and 13 had the opportunity to attend the GDST day of dance. We did 3 classes, first Theatre Jazz taught by a member of the West End cast of Hercules and Wicked alum, learning some of the real west end choreo from Wicked! We then did a commercial jazz class, which was challenging but so much fun nonetheless. Our final class was a contemporary class with Ella from the next step which was my personal favourite class. We received some advice from them afterwards, mostly to enjoy dancing, and that dance will always love you, even if the industry does not as well as helpful audition advice.

To finish the term in true Wimbledon High style, our Year 7s took to the netball courts for a Christmas Special Netball Festival! With festive headbands, big smiles, Christmas tree lights and plenty of holiday energy, the girls threw themselves into an after-school session full of fast-paced matches, teamwork, and great sportsmanship.

Each team brought brilliant enthusiasm, but one squad truly sparkled… A huge congratulations to Team Christmas Tree, our 2025 champions!

Well done to all players for making the session such a memorable and joyful way to end the term. The future of WHS netball is looking very bright!
