SCHOOL BADMINTON
The Assembly Hall provides the best accommodation there is
in the school for any one particular sport. Like most sports, badminton looks deceptively easy, and the hall provides an excellent
opportunity to discover how great the deception is. The staff Badminton Club is now open to the prefects, some of whom have
quickly acquired the necessary skill. As far as is possible, considering the great demands made upon the hall in out-of-school
time during the Christmas term, it is hoped to extend the club next year to include the whole of the Sixth Form and the Fourth
and Fifth years. It is felt that the First-Third years should be given the opportunity to concentrate first on tennis before graduating to badminton. A.J.K.
During the last week of the Spring term, Staff v. School Hockey and Netball matches were played. In the Hockey match the stay demonstrated much skill and won by 8 goals to 1. They also won the Netball match by 15 goals to 7. Their tactics were not only skilful but also amusing. They moved the posts whenever the school began to shoot!
