Super League
On December 5, the Abbot’s Hill netball and lacrosse clubs came into school to have a tournament against their fellow classmates, keeping in the year group bubbles. Anyone who was in these lunchtime and after school sports clubs were invited and put into a team of mixed abilities. Although it was bitterly cold outside, the girls powered through playing all their matches to the highest standards. With all year groups attending and having to be socially distant, we would like to say a massive thank you to the P.E. staff who organized the event and kept it all running as smoothly as possible. Also a big well done to the winning teams from each year for both sports.

Two teams from Abbots Hill competed in the National Schools Outdoor Open (South) Ski Race.
The National Schools Snowsports Association event was well attended with 80 skiers from the region and we managed to avoid the rain with Abbots seeded for an early start. Abbot’s Hill entered two teams captained by Rosie C, Year 11: A Team: Rosie C Year 11, Jemima C Year 8 and Cassandre P Year 8
B Team: Lucia C O Year 8, Katie U Year 8 and Ava S Year 4
All the girls did extremely well with Abbots Hill teams coming a respectable overall 7th place combined. It was so lovely for the girls to get back to competing for school once again.
