Once again this year, each tutor group was tasked with decorating Christmas Hampers to be filled and donated to our local community. Completed hampers were judged by the house team this week and have been delivered to Sutton Nightwatch, Guiding Hands Organisation CIC, Croydon Hub, and the Little Free Cupboard Carshalton.

On Thursday 21st of November, the Year 7 team had their third fixture of the season against Sutton High. Within the first five minutes of the first half, the ball was mainly in our attacking half, with the girls all working well together as a team to pass the ball around.

Dali-Rae received a lovely pass from midfield that she passed across the box to Sofia B, who had an amazing strike, and the girls secured their first goal!

Not long before half-time, Sofia B went on to score another goal for the team with the score being 2-1 at half-time. After a team talk, the team were ready for the second half of the match, despite the freezing cold! Lola G managed to get a great few attempts on target and then a goal, securing the third goal of the game. Sophie B and Maise M worked well together in midfield and upfront, with Sophie B getting a wonderful strike right into the corner, making the score 4-2.

The team kept working hard passing the ball around the back, communicating, and not one ball was able to get past Myla P who was playing centre back, with Halle H, Evie P and Ruby H getting some fantastic tackles.

Frances H, Emily A, and Jumaymah A, all playing in midfield, showed great skills and worked well to get the ball up the pitch. Elizabeth (GK) had some absolutely fantastic saves in the game, even with Sutton having a few corners, Elizabeth was not letting any shots get passed her! I am so proud of how well they all played, and how well they have bonded as a team on the pitch. Well done to Sophie B, who won player of the game, and well done to all who took part.

Keep the hard work up and let's hope for a few more wins this season!

As part of the school’s community priority, we are looking to mark the Christmas season by decorating the school. If you have any spare indoor or outdoor Christmas decorations that you would be willing to donate to the school, you can drop these in at reception. We would ask that they are in good condition.

We will be looking to celebrate festivals for other religions in the future, so we would love to receive donations for all festivals.

On Wednesday 13th November, two teams of six Year 8 students took part in a Faraday Challenge Competition (supported by the Institution for Engineering and Technology) at Nonsuch High School. Our students competed against students from Wallington Girls and Nonsuch. The purpose of the day was to respond to a design brief and create a product that would benefit a user of the team's choice. It was a broad brief, but our students developed excellent responses.

All of our students performed exceptionally well, with one team from CHSG winning the overall day. They will now be placed on a national leader board with the possibility of reaching the national finals in June next year.

The joy that was shown when the students realised that they had won against the grammar schools was wonderful to witness.

Well done to all the students that took part.

We are thrilled to invite you to our Musical Theatre Showcase taking place on Thursday 21st November in the School Hall. Join us for an evening of fantastic performances and watch our talented students shine on stage. 

On Tuesday 5^th November a small group of Year 8 and 10 students had their first session with their Sutton United mentor. The focus was on leadership, communication skills and teamwork. The girls asked thoughtful questions, completed a series of challenges that required them to work together and helped their mentor design future sessions based on their interests. Particularly well done to our Year 10 students who acted as role models for those in the younger year group - we are very proud. Miss Jones
