PE LockersAll PE lockers now are only able to be locked by a padlock. We strongly recommend that you get a small combination padlock for your child. Itis the student's responsibility to look after their own valuables. The changing rooms are not always locked therefore students should use the lockers provided. The College does not accept responsibility for valuables. Padlocks can be bought at the Aspire reception for £5.00. 6th Form Wandsworth 7-a-side Football TournamentWell done to the following students who won the 6th Form Wandsworth 7-a-side Football Tournament; Fuze, Jordan M, Kyle, Tony, Wais, Reo, Sega and Marcus. Our other teams finsished second (Mohamed Weliyow, Nadir, Larry, Jonathan, Cyrille, George, Mohamed Abdi, Irfan, Kayode and Connor) with SFX finishing third. Year 7 FootballIn our penultimate league game of the season we faced a determined St John Bosco side in very windy conditions. The Southfields team had a few new faces due to injury but a solid start saw us take 1-0 lead via Fuller at the near post, with the boys dominating possession and creating many chances. The visiting goalkeeper was tested frequently throughout the first half but was up to the challenge, pulling off a string of quality saves to deny Boateng, Stephenson and Fuller again. Southfields continued to threaten and scored a second goal before St John Bosco pulled one back from some poor decisions in the Southfields back line. We pushed on to score a third goal before some more poor positioning and strong winds caught us out and the visitors managed to bag a second and third in quick succession. The game finished 3 - 3 with Fuller, Haji and Stephenson scoring for Southfields, and Nathaniel Murray-Fuller with another Man of the Match display. Wandsworth Junior Athletics Championships - Wednesday 2nd May 2012 - Battersea Park Millennium Arena On Wednesday 2nd May 2012 a number of our talented athletes from Year 8 & 9 were selected to represent Southfields at the Wandsworth Junior Athletics Championships which was held at Battersea Park Millennium Arena. The day was a huge success and even saw three of our students win medals against students from 16 other schools. Well done to all students that took part. SKY Sports Twenty Yr 9 and 10 students have been selected to take part in a project in association with Sky Sports. The aim of this project is to develop confidence and self-esteem, improve independent learning skills and use sport to engage and motivate students and hopefully improve the overall attitude to learning and attainment. Students have chosen a sporting event or sports person linked to the Olympics. They will develop the skills needed to research and present their project it in a future assembly. An Athlete Mentor will be visiting the school on Tuesday 8th May to meet the students and share their experiences. Football Education ProgrammeThe trial dates for next year have now been confirmed. Current Year 11 and Year 12 students, who are hoping to join the programme, need to fill out an application form and then wait to be invited along to the trial date. The application form and further information can be found by clicking here. Year 9 Panathlon Olympic Wristbands Olympic Wristbands are here! Designed in the Olympic colours, and emblazoned with the Values, the Olympic wristbands have arrived at Southfields. Thanks to the ‘Plan Your 2012’ project (of which Southfields was one of the first 42 schools in the country to be invited to join), students, teachers and parents can now be nominated for a wristband if they show any of the Olympic or Paralympic Values: Friendship; Respect; Excellence; Determination; Inspiration; Courage; and Equality. Do you know anyone who deserves to be recognised? Are there any Torchbearers reading this? To nominate anybody, please get a message to Mr Trace explaining who it is who deserves the wristband, and why. The Southfields Olympic Ambassadors will then present the wristband in the winner's next assembly. With less than 6 months to go until the Games begin; it is a really exciting time to be involved with sports in London. If the impact of the Olympics at Southfields is that students consider the Olympic and Paralympic Values in all that they do, then that is surely a worthwhile legacy, don't you think?
