WYCOMBE HIGH SCHOOL
SPORTS BULLETIN WELCOME
to the May / June edition of the Sports Bulletin. We continue to celebrate the sporting success of our students, both inside and outside of school. We also continue with our next phase of fundraising for the all-weather pitch facility, Sponsor a Square. Thank you for your continued support to the school and ultimately the girls and their sporting careers.
GALA DINNER SUCCESS Before we move on to our next campaign we must update you on our gala dinner. The evening was a huge success. Gabby Logan was brilliant, awards were presented (see complete list of awards on following pages), dinner and drinks were enjoyed, hundreds of photos were taken and the dance floor was full. We are already looking forward to next years! For a full write up and links to photos please see the May edition of High Flyer which can be found here: https://issuu.com/wycombehighsch/ docs/may_high_flyer
SPONSOR A SQUARE You have the unique chance to sponsor a square of the new allweather pitches. We really need your support. Please visit the web page http://www.whs.bucks.sch.uk/PlayYourPart and sponsor a square or two and encourage other family members to do the same. In return, your name will be included on a donor recognition board at the new facility and you will receive a commemorative certificate. Sponsoring a square is a great way to honour your daughters time at school and to support future generations of Wycombe High School students.
Hockey Gaby Crosby (Y9, P3) attended the England Hockey U14 National Finals at the Olympic Park with her team from Reading Hockey club. They played some great hockey, progressed from the group stages and made the 3rd / 4th place play off. They came away with a medal and are the 4th best team in the country.
Netball Lucy Sutton (Y9, T2) competed with her Maidenhead team, Eagles, in the National Netball Finals against 17 other clubs. They only lost one match all day and were hopeful of a top 10 finish but were absolutely delighted to make the 3rd / 4th place play off where they faced a South Region rival from Milton Keynes. They won the match and finished 3rd. A fantastic result and achievement, congratulations to Lucy and her team.
Volleyball Izzy Tucker (Y7, C4) represented South East England in the U14 Inter Regional British Volleyball Championships recently. A great achievement at 11 years old. The team came 4th, not the result they had hoped for but Izzy was one of only 3 athletes at the event singled out by England Volleyball for outstanding performance.
