Herzlich Willkommen!

Southam College celebrates Diwali from Friday 13th October. We are running a number of events throughout next week for students to be able to explore the traditional, cultural and social elements of Diwali.

Congratulations to the Yr 10 Rugby team, who despite missing a few players, put in 3 great performances against Alcester Grammer School, Henley-in-Arden School and Studley School. They won 2 games and lost 1 to finish 2nd overall, with tries coming from Lucas Evans (3), Jacob May and Ben Irving. There were notable performances and moments all over the pitch, but special mention goes to Charlie Thwaites, who led the line well and Mackenzie Spilmann-Penn, who managed to keep his physicality just the right side of legal, wrestling possession back for Southam.

Our next game is a Varsity Game Vs Bilton (H) next Thursday 12th October.

Mr MacGibbon

 

The Year 10 Netball team was one of the four teams to start off the first round of Varsity fixtures versus Bilton. The girls played excellent Netball both in attack and defence! In attack Cerys James, Carmen Ellis and Cara Andrews worked the ball from centre court brilliantly into Maddison Smith who scored some cracking goals. Cara who also plays GA supported a strong score line of 31 goals. In defence Kacie Morby, Lucy Parker, Ruby Cole, Alice Dillon and Lily Fraser-Pope put immense pressure on the Bilton attack keeping the score line down. The interceptions and marking was fantastic by all and this was reflected in the final score Southam 31 Bilton 10.

Well done girls, another amazing result on the board for 2017/2018 season. Keep up the wonderful hard work and effort! So proud of you all yet again. Miss Evans.

Southam V Myton

The Year 10 Football team had a tough start to the season with a home match against a perennially strong Myton team.

There will be no gym club afterschool on 4th October 2017. Reminder to all students who would like to attend the new Cheerleading club that they must meet in the gym afterschool.

IMPORTANT REMINDER- Webb Ellis winning House rewards trip

The deadline for all payments and slips to be able to go on the trip was Friday. Afer discussion with the finance office, as a gesture of goodwill we will accept final payments until breaktime on Monday morning (2nd October). This is the absolute cut off point. Spare letters were put into registers again last week and are still in the student office if you have misplaced it. The trip takes place on Monday 16th October, it will be a fabulous day out! The payment system will close on Monday breaktime as all payments to Thorpe park and transport are taking place on Monday. Reminder- the Blue Peter badge is no longer accepted, a message went out over parent pay about this and also if you have a Merlin pass this must be brought in on the day of the trip.

Many thanks, Miss Campbell.

Year 9 and 10 have their first Varsity fixture against Bilton (Away) on Thursday 5th October 2017. All students need to check the ECA notice board situated in the sports hall for the team sheets and further details. If there are any problems please see Miss Evans or Miss Maclachlan ASAP.
