An awesome two days of sport for Chapter 7

There is a buzz around the College this morning and lots of sporting chatter from many pupils in Chapter 7.
 
Last Friday and Saturday saw many pupils take to the field and astro turf in rugby, hockey and football. The sports staff have spoken on many occasions during games sessions to pupils about the importance of getting things right off the pitch, such as having the correct kit and equipment, being on time, following instructions first time, being organised. These are key elements which put pupils in a position to win sporting matches and Chapter 7 are doing this brilliantly.
 
Firstly, on Friday the A and B rugby teams made the short trip to St Edwards College on a dry but chilly afternoon. Supported by the 1st XV Rugby Captain, the pupils were quite simply awesome from start to finish and beat St Edwards with renewed grit, power, energy, and determination. On Saturday morning,14 pupils dressed immaculately in blazer and tie, shoes shined were eagerly waiting to make the trip to play football versus St Bede's Manchester. The game was quite simply a belter!! Goals flew in each goal and possession was end to end. In the end the pupils jubilantly celebrated an 8-6 victory. About 15 miles away, the girls hockey team were also in action versus St Bede's College. Text messages were being sent to me by Miss Evans and Miss Pye with the message: this team is brilliant. The team won AGAIN!! and the girls reported on their return that Miss Evans and Miss Pye passionately celebrated with a clench of the fists and a pull of the shirt badge in true Jurgen Klopp style. They are becoming quite a force.
 
Well done to the pupils, staff and sixth form volunteers.

Y12 beat Y13 in Friendly Football Match

On Thursday, the Y12s played Y13s in a football match organised during their games session. The match was competitive and played with a nice atmosphere in front of a large gathering of watching sixth formers. Despite early dominance the Y12s ended the first half leading by two goals to nil. This lead was quickly doubled in the second half to complete a good Y12 team performance. Late pressure from the Y13s  failed to produce a goal they deserved for possessional play and the match finished with handshakes all around and fist pumping from the jubilant Y12 team. Coaches Mr Cook (Y12 team) and Mr Muscatelli/Mr Heeley (Y13 team) spoke at length at the end of the game about shared team tactics and a rematch is planned soon.

Cat Cafe!

This weekend the boarders asked to go to the cat cafe on Bold Street. Research has shown that hearing a cat purr can lower blood pressure and stroking a cat can slow your heart rate. So by stopping, resting and watching, the cat cafe's aim is to enable people to become more mindful and present in their day to day lives. The boarders all really enjoyed it and some overcame their fear of cats.

Chapter 7 Hockey Team win at Birkenhead School

Jurgen Klopp and Pep LiJnders are well known for turning Liverpool FC good players into world beaters and Miss Evans and Miss Pye are doing a very similar job with the chapter seven hockey team. Many of the pupils involved in the hockey squad had either never played hockey before or had only played some hockey at other grounds and locations. What Miss Evans and Miss Pye have done is build the character of the team by creating a team ethos of togetherness and resilience. Alongside this the basics of hockey have been taught in stages so the pupils have a clear understanding of how hockey is played. Although, results haven't produced wins in the first term, there were signs a real promise from individuals and team play. Last Saturday was the turning point as the team made the trip to Birkenhead School. Miss Evans and Miss Pye was purring on the sidelines as the team put all their previous training  ground moves together and put on a scintillating display of real character. The team won and staff and pupils were delighted as hands and sticks were triumphantly held aloft. Many congratulations to the team and coaches.

Chapter 7 Rugby Team visit Stockton on Tees for Triangular Fixture

On Saturday, the Chapter 7 rugby team made the long-distance trip to Stockton on Tees where they played a triangular fixture versus Yarm School and Hymers College. The rugby was incredibly competitive throughout and the team performed admirably, and they were rewarded with a 4-2 win versus a good Yarm School side. Captain Ethan B and Sean F were outstanding performers throughout the fixtures,
The U12 team represented the school brilliantly and were praised by parents from both schools for their good manners and impeccable dress and appearance. A stop off a Burger King on the journey home ensured the boys came home very happy!
