SPORTS NEWS | PG 33

Another academic year draws to a close, and what a fantastic one it has been for Bishop Vesey’s sport. It feels like we have returned to some normality with a huge amount of fixtures taking place across a variety of sports and extracurricular sessions back up and running. The uptake and interest for these has been exceptional and we are already having to look at additional sessions and sports to try to encourage all students to participate.

There have been many sporting highlights for both teams and individuals along the way and we look forward to many more in the new academic year.

I would like to thank the staff that are involved in running all the teams and extra-curricular sessions. Without their dedication and commitment the fantastic array of opportunities would not be possible.

Next year, we can look forward to the prospect of the first overseas tour for some time, with the senior hockey squad travelling to Holland and some domestic trips are in the pipeline.

I wish you a very healthy and happy summer and make sure you all come back fit and raring to go in September and seize the chance to start get involved.

The redesign has given the English corridor more life and personality. The variety of books on the walls inspire students to read more challenging novels, and explore more genres and styles. Now a more welcoming corridor, students feel more enthusiastic about English and reading.

My favourite book is The Lord of the Rings, which is one of the many great novels that adorn the walls of the new English corridor. It's full of action and adventure, allowing reader to travel to a new, complex world.

The English corridor designs have inspired me to read The Picture of Dorian Gray. The quote on the poster intrigued me.

The English corridor looks brilliant and is definitely the most eye-catching corridor in school.

My favourite book is To Kill a Mockingbird. Harper Lee produces a thoughtprovoking, clever novel as we see, through Scout's eyes, how she grows up and comes to the realisation that the world isn't the perfect place she throught it to be.

I'm inspired to read Animal Farm by George Orwell. Since the redesign many students have flocked to read it and they've recommended it to me.
