Abbot’s Hill compete in National Schools Outdoor Open Ski Race

Two teams from Abbots Hill competed in the National Schools Outdoor Open (South) Ski Race.

The National Schools Snowsports Association event was well attended with 80 skiers from the region and we managed to avoid the rain with Abbots seeded for an early start. Abbot’s Hill entered two teams captained by Rosie C, Year 11:

A Team: Rosie C, Year 11, Jemima C Year 8 and Cassandre P, Year 8

B Team: Lucia C O, Year 8, Katie U, Year 8 and Ava S, Year 4

All the girls did extremely well with Abbots Hill teams coming a respectable overall 7th place combined. It was so lovely for the girls to get back to competing for school once again.

We’re delighted to finally share our brand new Abbot’s Hill school film with you.
 
Created to capture the breadth of life at Abbot’s Hill, the film takes you from the classroom to the playing field, from the stage to the science labs, and into the everyday moments that make our school community so special.
 
Rather than simply telling you about Abbot’s Hill, we wanted to show you what it really feels like to be part of our school. The energy, the opportunities, the friendships, the learning and, most importantly, the wonderful pupils at the heart of it all.
 
Filming took place across the school last June, and we’re sure many of our families will enjoy spotting themselves, their friends and their teachers on screen!
 
A huge thank you to everyone who gave their time, energy and enthusiasm, both in front of and behind the camera, to help bring this film to life.
 
We hope you enjoy watching it as much as we enjoyed making it.

What a way to kick off the new school year!
 
This morning, we had the incredible excitement of launching our brand new school film to pupils across the school, and what a reaction! The red carpet was rolled out as pupils made their way to the theatre for the grand reveal, while our wonderful catering team provided popcorn for everyone to enjoy.
 
There was plenty of excitement as pupils watched the film and enjoyed spotting themselves and their friends on the big screen. It was wonderful to see their reactions and share such a special moment together as a school community.
 
Keep your eyes peeled this evening when the film is officially revealed to everyone. We can’t wait for you to see it!

World Challenge: Borneo 2026!

Over the summer holidays, 12 of our students from Years 9 to 11 travelled to Borneo for an unforgettable World Challenge expedition, accompanied by Miss Knatchbull, Miss Bliss and their World Challenge leader, Violette.

Across 16 days, the students immersed themselves in the culture, communities and incredible landscapes of Sarawak. From exploring Kuching and local markets, to trekking through the rainforest, staying in remote communities, learning traditional skills and eating plenty of delicious Malaysian pineapple!

The students also took part in a community initiative with an Iban community, helping with the construction of a new longhouse, sieving sand, picking pepper, planting trees and learning about traditional cooking, crafts and ways of life. They trekked to the river, cooked lunch over an open fire and shared wonderful experiences with members of the local community.

There were plenty of adventures along the way too, from seeing an orangutan at the Semenggoh Wildlife Centre, to exploring caves, learning to cook local dishes, enjoying cultural performances and experiencing the Kuching Food Festival.

Perhaps most importantly, the students developed independence, resilience, teamwork and confidence. They took responsibility for managing money, time, food and group organisation, tackled challenges far outside their comfort zones and supported one another throughout.

From bucket showers and mosquito nets to rainforest treks, tropical storms, new friendships and unforgettable sunsets, this was certainly a trip they will never forget.

A huge thank you to Miss Knatchbull and Miss Bliss for giving so much of their time, energy and care to the trip, supporting the students through every challenge and helping to make this experience so special. Thank you also to Violette and all of the wonderful local guides and communities who made the journey possible.

We are incredibly proud of everything our students achieved and the way they embraced every challenge, experience and opportunity along the way.

What an adventure!
