This weekend marked the first race of the season for WHSBC at the Kingston Small Boats Head Race.
Years 9–13 took part in the 5.2 km races, and they all did an amazing job!
We had some fantastic results across all year groups, with Year 9 securing 2nd and 3rd place in the quads, Year 10 taking home 2nd place in the singles and 2nd place in the doubles, and the senior squad finishing 3rd in the coxed fours.
We had great success at Surrey qualifiers, placing second in our pool and advancing to the finals next March with only one loss. The day started off slowly but we managed to recover our first game, this gave us a good flow throughout the day.
We played well as a team and were able to gain confidence in each other and try different combinations. In the future we will look to start stronger and improve on our timing of passes.
Overall it was a good day and we can't wait for finals.
In the E team match against Sutton High School, we lost 4/3. The support from our substitutes was amazing and they were cheering us on.
The first goal was scored by Laura-Emilia and the last two by Olivia R. We had tremendous support by our defenders- Mia in the first half and Luna, Layla, and Eloise in the second.
We played very well on this occasion.
We are delighted to confirm that Eliza has been very busy with Fencing competitions in the past month. Travelling to Nottingham, Eliza participated in the British Cadet and Junior National Championships in the U17 age group and came 18th out of 80 participants. In the U14 age group finals Eliza came 5th out of 40! A wonderful achievement.
We are so pleased to share that Daisy LV in Yr 7 came 2nd in her regional Gymnastics competition last weekend (out of 43 competitors), only missing out on gold by 0.05! What an amazing achievement, well done Daisy, that is wonderful.
Not only did Daisy obtain silver but she has now also qualified to represent the South East region at the National finals in November!! We cannot wait to hear about your experience in the finals.
Well done from all at WHS.
