Cross-country
It is good to see our students doing well in the recent Kent School’s Cross Country Championships. For the juniors, Charles Davis (9B) finished 17th overall and 3rd in Bromley, with Joshua Davidson (9H) coming in 28th overall and 5th in Bromley. Congratulations to them both and, most particularly, to William Ruiz (12F) who came an impressive 5th overall in the seniors and was the fastest competitor in Bromley. This has resulted in his selection to run in the English Schools Cross Country on Saturday 2nd March.
Tennis
This year the School entered the Year 8, 10 and senior championships this year with mixed results. Year 8 ended their season with an impressive 5 – 1 win over Ravens Wood and Year 10 showed good promise and some new players gained valuable match experience.
Badminton
Having both won the Bromley competition last term, the Junior and the Intermediate badminton teams travelled to Wilson’s School to take on the best teams in South London. The Juniors performed well in their pool and finished runners up, including a notable win over Whitgift, before beating Graveney School to finish third. The Intermediates also played some excellent badminton to come second in their pool but were unable to emulate their younger peers, finishing a highly respectable fourth.
Hockey
The St. Olave’s 1st XI mixed hockey team played their traditional summer game against Burnt Ash on Tuesday 11th June at Chislehurst and Sidcup AstroTurf. The students worked very hard and came together as a team winning 3-2.
Swimming
This term has seen huge success for the school’s swimmers. Following swimming victories over Colfe’s several students won medals at the Kent Schools’ Championships including Theo Haslam (10K), Michael Jacobs (9L), Matthew Ruiz (10L), Harry Rennolls (8C) and Alexander Song (7C).
Ski Trip
This year’s ski trip took students to Salt Lake City in Utah. Over the course of the week all students had up to six hours of tuition every day, went to see the Grizzleys play (Ice Hockey) and had the chance to enjoy American cuisine and various all American activities.
