25 SUMMER NEWSLETTER 2025 PHYSICALEDUCATION Our first competitive event of the year took place at Trafford AC, marking an exciting milestone for Thornleigh athletes. The teams performed strongly across the board: • Junior boys - Year 7 & Year 8 combined - finished 5th • Junior girls - Year 7 & Year 8 combined - placed 8th • Intermediate boys - Year 9 & Year 10 combined - came 4th • Intermediate girls - Year 9 & Year 10 combined - secured 6th A special mention goes to the junior boys team who qualified for the B final, held at Ellesmere Port. This gave more regular practice attendees the valuable opportunity to represent Thornleigh and experience competitive athletics for the first time this year. Well done to all the students for their hard work, determination, and team spirit - we can’t wait to see what you achieve next! Ski Trip This Easter, 40 students from Years 10, 11 and 12 took part in the much anticipated school ski trip to Austria - and what a fantastic week it was! All students who joined the trip had some skiing experience, thanks to pre-trip lessons at Rossendale for those who were newer to the sport. This preparation meant that everyone hit the slopes with confidence and enthusiasm from day one. Throughout the week, students built on their skills, developing their technique and growing in confidence under the guidance of professional instructors. Whether navigating beginner runs or tackling more challenging slopes, every student made impressive progress and made the most of every opportunity on the mountains. Evenings were just as packed with fun as the days. After skiing, students enjoyed a variety of activities including swimming, crazy golf, and bowling - all of which added to the laughter and unforgettable memories shared by the group. The trip was a huge success, not only for the skiing, but for the friendships formed and the excellent attitude shown by all students. Staff were especially proud of the way the group conducted themselves, demonstrating maturity, teamwork and a brilliant sense of fun throughout the week. A big thank you goes to the staff who organised and supported the trip - your time and effort made it a truly memorable experience. Austria 2025, you were amazing!
