Dance

Before the Easter break, 18 girls took their RAD Ballet and ISTD Tap & Modern Examinations at the HFC. All performed extremely well and should be very proud of their achievements.

The students received four Merits, six High Merits and two Distinctions for RAD Ballet Grades, and three Passes, two Merits and a Distinction for ISTD Tap & Modern Grades.

Well done to all and many thanks to all the teachers involved in preparing the girls for their exams.

Tennis

CLC Rose Bowl Tournament

It was a great turn out for the annual Rose Bowl tennis tournament in the sunshine. SFC1 (Year 12) Arissa was the winner of the U18 event and LC2 (Year 8) Sophie the U14s. All matches were played in great spirits and lots of fun was had by all.

Swimming

After a four-year absence, it was fantastic to host eight schools and 270 swimmers from our District. Having home pool advantage certainly gave our swimmers an edge in this super competitive event. Eight records were broken in total, of which two now belong to LC1 (Year 7) CLC girls, Jess and Chizzy; congratulations to you.

UC4 (Year 10) Caitlin was also on record-breaking form, claiming the nine year UC4 College record on breaststroke. Our team also set 24 new personal bests, and, due to their fantastic efforts, they took the Year 7 and Year 8 team titles and retained the Best Overall Girls Trophy for another year - well done to all 25 swimmers.
