The girls had the chance to meet their Heads of House, talk about their sporting interests and plan the year ahead.  The Heads of House briefly introduced the Competitive and Recreational opportunities that will be available this year.
 
The programme of the day included basketball and futsal, with Newham playing friendly matches against Wolseley and Beaconsfield facing Kitchener.  The girls participated with lots of enthusiasm with their friends, showcasing their sporting skills and abilities.  The Heads of House closely observed and made notes so that they could prepare their House Teams for the Inter-House Competitions that will start next week.  It was great to see so much energy and talent on display!

They practiced individual skills as well as systems of play, led by Andreas Sizopoulos, our Head of Basketball Development.  The players were very excited to participate in this first-morning session, which will take place weekly.  In addition, they will be attending individual skill development sessions on other mornings of the week.  They will also be working on their strength and conditioning with Alexandros Solomonides, our Gym Instructor, making use of the availability of the Gym from 6.00-7.30 before school.
