CONGRATULATIONS to GAIL TOMBS
Well done to Gail Tombs, SSCo of the Highfield Cluster. She had been keeping very quiet about her training for the World Fell Running Championships.
Last weekend she performed extremely well beating her previous personal best time by an amazing 20 minutes, despite a fall in Sulber Nick!
Gail will feature in Wakefield Express next week so keep your eyes peeled. To quote Gail 'Its amazing what I will do to promote the partnership!'
TOP MARKS GAIL, we are all very proud of you and your commitment to all that training! Good luck for the rest of the season.

There’s a rumble in the city tonight
Blood, Sweat and Tear 2 – The Friday Rumble opened its doors this afternoon at Wakefield City High School for this year full contact rugby league explosion. With seven teams entered this competition continues to grow but it is not for the faint hearted and this year provided it all. Teams from Sharlston, Heath View, Sandal Endowed, Lofthouse, Wrenthorpe and Shay Lane put their courage and bodies on the line to win that very impressive trophy. From the beginning there was plenty of metal on show has all the teams battled it out to find each others strengths, weakness and key players. Sandal 1, Lofthouse, Heath View and Sharlston all looked like early winners but nothing was final until the last game. With some wonderful passing, running, support play and tackling the referees teachers, parents, supports and coaches held their breath. With aching bodies, sore muscles and a collection of cuts and bruises the top two teams Sandal 1 and Lofthouse battled it out in a no holes barred grand final. In the end, despite some brilliant tackling the size and power of Sandal 1 (what do they feed them on?) won through and to loud applause they lifted the trophy to be crowned Blood, Swear and Tear Champions 2008.

THE Top Link Conference
What an amazing day, not only for Outwood Grange College leaders but the schools that attended the event.
The OGC leaders day started early by putting out signage and setting up the registration desks.
A little less than the expected amount of schools turned up in the morning. BUT, the OGC students were very organised in handing out welcome packs and T-shirts to arriving students.
The event was opened by James Wilkinson from the Youth Sport Trust and none other than Mrs Buckingham, Vice Principle of OGC. The sporting champion that attended was Jenna Downing, an extreme rollerblader. Several of our students interviewed Jenna, for that interview please visit the OGC home page within this site. Jenna is the British Champion from 1998 to 2006, in 2005 was the UK Freesports Athlete of the Year Winner and came third in the LG Action Sports World Championships..to name but a few titles
After an inspirational DVD and speeches the teachers remained with James Wilkinson and Debbie Speed, whilst the students were taken to the sportshall. For information about the rest of the event please visit the OGC site.
Needless to say, BIG THANKS to the leaders, Jenna, YST, Mrs Buckingham and Philippa Youlden (trainer of the leaders).
The photo attached shows James Wilkinson introducing the event and Kassie Roper about to divide the schools into groups.

Sports Jam Sports Leaders
This is a photo of the sports leaders by the end of the week! Both Mr Rutter and Mrs Foster would like to commend all the sports leaders on being excellent leaders throughout the 4 day camp.
The sports leaders volunteered in their school holiday. Their job was to register the students upon arrival, lead the children to their 'base room'. They then took them to every activity whilst helping them settle into the classes and helped them learn new skills.
Mrs Foster said 'After the 4 years I have been running this camp I have never known so many committed sports leaders. They all got so involved with their groups and activities. The young children really benefited from having such good role models'
Mr Rutter said of the Higher Sports Leaders 'Every time I have walked into one of their sessions the students have been fully engaged and focused on everyone being involved. I am very pleased with their efforts.'

Sports Jam Camp, Easter 2008
What a wonderful 4 days we have had at the Sports Jam Camp. The weather hasn't been great but it hasn't dampened our spirits.
The camp was full this holiday and saw 100 children play sports such as badminton, football, frisbee, sportshall athletics, kwik cricket, parachute games, dance, uni-hoc, short tennis, tag rugby, netball, basketball, the occasional 'sit-down', rounders and rock-it-ball.
The camp boasted a great deal of talent. Aden (coach) said "all the groups have been really well behaved and I have seen a lot of talent". Children walked from activities with smiles and red faces. Many children met up with old friends and new friendships were also forged.
Please scroll down the website for more photos. To enlarge the photo, simply click on it.
Mr Rutter and Mrs Foster would like to thank the coaches, Mick, Vicki, Aden, Hanni, Kassie, Jo, Claire, Jess, Steve and Elliot. The sports leaders have also been excellent, see their write up below!
