• Friday 22 November 2024 Trust Chaplaincy Day Yesterday, our school Chaplaincy Team went to the Sacred Heart Parish Hall to meet ten other faith teams from local primary and secondary Catholic schools across the Sancta Familia Trust area. Each school presented information about their school saint and we spent time learning about the lives of the saints and thinking about what inspires us about them. We played some games, got to meet and chat other children and then joined together for a shared liturgy. The children had a great time and were excellent ambassadors for St. Cecilia's. We hope this is the start of many more opportunities like this where we can come together with other schools.

• Friday 15 November 2024 Netball v Cheam Common Today our teams faced Cheam Common for their second match.Both games were tough and Cheam Common got ahead fairly quickly. When your behind in a match it's very easy to give up and I'm proud to say that I saw the complete opposite from our players today. They gave it their all right up until the final whistle. The score lines don't reflect the effort, hardwork and team spirit they showed so we won't worry about them. On to the next game boys and girls.
• Tuesday 12 November 2024 Football Match v St Elphege's From the start of the match, it was clear that this was going to be a tough match. Our defence worked tirelessly throughout the first half to help to prevent them from scoring, although there were a few near misses. Shane was able to find the back of the net first and the first half finished 1-0.It was that kind of match where I voiced that we needed 3 or 4 more goals to be safe, which is just what the second half provided. Daniel scored another hat trick, including an outstanding goal from a free kick. Shane scored our final goal in the last minutes of the game.The game finished 5-0 and was another superb performance from the whole team. Well done boys, onto the next round you go!

• Thursday 24 October 2024 Y6 Netball Team Today was the first match for our netball team. They approached it with a mixture of nerves and excitement. Their faces in the photo show how proud they were to be representing our school.The first game was quick paced with quite a few goals scored. It ended 5 - 3 to Nonsuch. Although the team lost they played until the end and didn't give up.The second game needed our goal defence and goal keepers to work incredibly hard to keep the opposition from scoring. The whole team did brilliantly however, the game ended 2-0 to Nonsuch.Although we had defeats in both matches the children played so well for their first ever competitive game. I'm looking forward to the next match already.

• Thursday 17 October 2024 Girls Football v Dorchester Just a few days after their first match, the girls had their next match against our local neighbours. This match was on grass, which was a new challenge for some of the team.The game was very evenly matched with opportunities for both sides. However, it was Dorchester that found that first goal. This goal made the girls even more determined and their efforts to get the equaliser continued.With about 3 minutes left of the second half it was Elizabeth who secured the well deserved equaliser and the game finished 1-1.Just in these two games the girls have made significant progress and are taking on board all advice given. Well done girls - your first goal and first point. Keep it up!

• Wednesday 9 October 2024 Boys Football v Nonsuch This afternoon the boys played their first match of the season in lovely mild conditions for the spectators!The boys were fully fired up and their determination to work as a team was evident throughout the match.If it wasn’t for their goalkeeper’s superb saves the scoreline could have been a lot higher. He was by far the man of the match, which isn’t bad considering he had never played in goal before.The game finished 10 - 2 with some fantastic goals scored. Daniel x 3, Leo x 3, Max x 2 and one each for Albie and Shane. Nearly every player had a few shots on target and they showed great potential for the season ahead.
