The Year 7 and 8 girls had a superb evening at the annual Girls’ Games Dinner. This is a great opportunity for pupils, parents, staff and governors to celebrate the girls superb sporting achievements throughout the year.
The dining room was decorated in pink and blue and a delicious three course meal was served. It was wonderful for everyone to see a slide show of the girls throughout their sporting years at Danes Hill and the captains gave a speech on the achievements of each sport.
The guests were inspired by this years guest speaker, Kate Richardson-Walsh OBE and special guest Darcy Bourne. Kate is an Olympic gold and bronze medal winning hockey player and captained the England and Great Britain team for 13 years. Darcy was a former Danes Hill pupil and is in the U18 England Hockey programme, with 45 junior international caps and has won a European bronze medal. The guests thoroughly enjoyed the speeches and had the opportunity to ask questions.
All of the senior girls received a glass award at the end of the evening as a thank you for their outstanding efforts in sport this year. A huge congratulations to all of the girls and good luck to the Year 8s on their final term of sport at Danes Hill.
A fantastic evening had by all!
