Fiona, Year 9, achieved a personal best of 9.52m in the triple jump at the Watford Harriers Open Graded meeting in April which puts her third in the country in the Under 15 age group.

Abbot's Hill took part in the Eastern Region Schools' Ski Championships at Welwyn on 22 April. As an inaugural event this could be rated a huge success. The entry was amazingly high, with more than 240 racers competing. For some of our girls it was their very first such competition, and at all levels they acquitted themselves very well.

Year 3 had a Clan Benchball competition on Wednesday 28 March organised by Mrs Conroy.

Pupils from Year 4 to Year 11 took part in this year's Centenary Gym and Dance Display in the last week of term. The packed programme included rhythmic gym, trampette work, street and contemporary dance and some original choreography from GCSE students.

On Saturday 10 March, Abbot's Hill U14, U15 and 2nd Netball teams visited Aldenham to play their U14, 2nd and 1st team respectively.

The 2nd team played Aldenham's 1st team, with a number of the opposition being old Abbot's Hill pupils which both sides enjoyed very much. Expecting it to be a hard match, the away side prepared well and were ready to go on the first whistle.

Having qualified earlier in the season, the U15 squad were excited to participate in the annual National Schools Lacrosse Tournament on 6 March. With a further 47 schools entered into the tournament, each section comprised 6 teams who would compete for the top two places within their section to then qualify for finals.

Infant pupils at St Nicks walked one mile around the School grounds for Sport Relief on Friday 23 March. The children were rewarded with stickers from Miss Twinn on their return. The Juniors also took part in a one mile run. Altogether £185 was raised by St Nicks for Sport Relief.

The culmination of the ski season was, as always, the Clan Ski Race. More girls than usual competed in the event this year and it was especially pleasing to see some of the less experienced being brave enough to have a go – and to surprise themselves with what they achieved. For some years now it seems to be the Ski Captain's fate to have a disaster in the Clan Race and sadly for Ellie D this was the case this year. Ellie did, however, produce the fastest time of the day on her second run. Congratulations to overall winner Lauren S – the youngest overall winner for many years.

The U14 Lacrosse squad visited Princess Helena College on Wednesday 21 March to take on local schools in the County Tournament. On one of the hottest days of the year, it promised to be an excellent day of Lacrosse.
