Weekly Update May 18th-May 22nd 2026

CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR SENIOR SOCCER TEAM. The Senior Soccer Team capped off a fantastic season with an outstanding 5–1 victory in the league final. From the first whistle to the last, the team showed incredible discipline, determination, and teamwork in a performance that reflected the hard work they have put in all year.Every player played their part, working for one another and showing a positive attitude throughout the match. Each of the boys’ composure and sportsmanship set a great example for younger students. What stood out most was the strong sense of camaraderie within the squad. The players supported and encouraged each other from start to finish, celebrating every goal, tackle, and save together. This team spirit has been a key part of their success all season.Congratulations to the entire panel on a brilliant achievement and a memorable league final win and to Mr Briggs who has worked tirelessly to coach and mentor the team.
