Swimming
On Tuesday afternoon Lancing hosted the final round of the Schools Super Swimming League, where we placed 3rd and qualified for the B final at K2 next month. Outstanding swims from Alessio M, Bethany K and Bianca S-A who won all of their events, but particular mention also to Anjie O, Bibi W and Maeve H for stepping up to form a strong Intermediate Girls team at incredibly short notice. Impressive attitudes and comradery from the whole team left an impression on visiting schools and made us feel very proud indeed

Hot off the press….. Netball
A phenomenal effort from our U16s on Thursday afternoon, who finished runners-up in the Plate competition at SISNA (Sussex Independent Schools Netball Association) after a brilliant late surge. After placing 4th in their group, they found their rhythm, securing impressive wins over Bede’s and Brighton Girls, before a nail-biting 8-6 loss to Hurst – the final goal coming on the whistle! At 5-5, they had chances to take the lead, but the icy conditions made shooting a challenge.
