A massive congratulations to our hardy runners who represented the school at the Warwickshire School Cross-Country Championships. The weather was a little damp and cold, but our runners battled on, producing some excellent results and many will now go on to represent Warwick at the English Schools Championships in Leeds and Prestwold Hall.

Performance of the day came from Madeleine Jacks (Yr 8), who tore away from the field on the second lap to win comfortably. Madeleine was running against Yr 9 students and still has another year in this year group, making her win all the more impressive! Elspeth Unitt suffered a fall during the race, but recovered well to finish 14th, and Poppy Lister (22nd) and Mae Quinney (31st) completed the Southam Junior Girls team.

You are invited to our History GCSE revision conference on Thursday 24th January in the Core, 3.45 – 5.15pm.

Southam V Harris

Southam make hay against a spirited Harris Team.

A combined Yr 10 and 11 Team took on an inexperienced, but spirited combined team from Harris Academy. Though it quickly became clear that there was a mismatch between the 2 teams, as we ran in 7 unanswered first half tries, our opponents never dropped their heads and kept battling away, at times threatening our line and only kept out with some determined Southam defence.

As Harris were only able to come with 10 players, some Southam students showed their sportsmanship and maturity by playing for them. My great thanks go to Josh B., Josh R., Dom G., Daniel T., Sam W. and especially to Luke C., who played for both halves with fantastic credit and performance.

In the end Southam ran in 14 unanswered tries, but in the real winners were both teams who played the game in a way that the RFU and their Core Values of Teamwork, Respect, Sportsmanship, Discipline and Enjoyment, would celebrate.

For the record the scorers were: Harry W. (4), Josh P. (3), Alfie P. (2), Ryan A., Dom G., Daniel T., Joe C., and Josh L.

The next Yr 10 fixture is on Monday against AGS (away)

On Monday Exchange students explored Blenheim Palace in the footsteps of Winston Churchill. Despite the weather we persevered and found the” whomping willow tree”featured in the Harry Potter films. The visit was concluded with a fabulous farewell party where Leila Scott surprised with a brilliant video put together from previous Exchange visits. It came as no surprise that Lucas Evans took over the role of putting on tunes and the family Talue  provided us with fabulous food- dauphinoise potatoes and chocolate tart.  All in all, Southam students and families  did themselves justice in repaying their guests’   hospitality with the fantastic dishes they brought and a great time was had.

Bis zum nächsten Jahr und gute Heimfahrt!

Day Trip to Stratford
Southam and Hölderlin students experienced a Shakespearean lesson in the actual schoolroom were the Bard of Avon himself was taught once as a boy. The students made gains in Latin and enjoyed their quill skills. We discovered that Mr Holfelder looks a little like Professor Snape in an Elizabethan school teacher’s dress. A day in Stratford would not be complete without a stroll to the RSC and Shakespeare’s birth place, and the Exchange would not be complete without Mrs Martin, who nurtured German and English relations successfully for years. Much fun was had in the evening at ten pin bowling.
Ein schönes Wochenende!
