On Wednesday 18th October, we are launching the start of a new Cheer Dance Club which is open to Year 7 and Year 8 students on a Wednesday lunch time in the Dance Studio. The club will be run by our GCSE Dance students where they will be working on a cheer dance for our Christmas show. Don’t miss out! Please ensure you collect an early lunch pass from the PE office on Wednesday at break time so you can get your lunch before the club starts at 12:45pm. We can’t wait to see you there.

Not only are our students performing at high levels in school, they are also experiencing fantastic success in the sporting world outside of school. Sophie H-S in Year 7 has just been selected to represent Greater Manchester County Netball at Under 13s level. This is a real honour as Sophie is currently an U12 which means she has been selected for the age group higher than her age. The dedication and commitment you have shown to your sport, Sophie is exceptional and here at PGHS, we are very proud of you. We can’t wait to see you representing PGHS in our netball team once the matches kick off after October half term. Well done!

Year 8 Netball teams

I had the pleasure of taking the Year 8 Netball teams to Walton-le-Dale High School on Tuesday 10th October to play a league fixture. The girls conducted themselves with dignity and ambition and played really well together as a team. Our passes were accurate through the court, the defenders performed lots of interceptions and our shooters were on fire with their percentage of shots scored. As a result, the A team beat Walton-Le-Dale high school 34-0 and the B team beat them 28-0. A performance of hard work and dedication to their team was put in by every member. Well done, girls!

South Ribble Netball Leagues

In South Ribble this year, we have moved to an online league system so students and parents can check the position of each team in the leagues at any point. Please click the league below to see the current standings so far:

On Tuesday 4^th July, professional dancer and dance choreographer, Alex McKenna, came to PGHS to work with some students from Y7, Y8 and Y9 to create a dance piece for our school show on Wednesday 12^th July. The girls had a fantastic day learning Jazz, Bollywood and African dance styles, as well as being able to ask Alex what working in the world of dance is like.

In our PE lessons during the Festival of Performance and the Arts, students have been participating in a Team Building Interform competition. The students improved their communication, leadership and problem-solving skills to gain points for their form. All students participated with passion and dedication to their form. Well Done!

On Monday after school our Year 9 Rounders team competed in the South Ribble Rounders Tournament at Priory Academy. We were very lucky to escape the rain and thunderstorms and it was a fantastic event. The girls played 6 matches and made such good progress throughout the competition by winning 2, drawing 1 and losing 3, finishing in 5th position overall. They demonstrated some great Rounders skills with impressive catches, quick thinking fielding and scored some amazing Rounders from strong batting techniques. Well done, girls! The team were Hattie C, Elizabeth B-R, Ruby R, Charlotte P, Georgia J, Amy L, Darcey P, Emma S, Lexi P, Evie H, Natalie K and Natalie U.
