The P.E. department is proud to an-
nounce that St. John’s football and netball teams
have once again exceeded our expectations, with
only two league defeats thus far this season, and
some outstanding performances. We are certainly
looking forward to exciting times and are pre-
empting more trophies to be won. The tough
fitness regime and skill work followed during les-
sons are giving us the cutting edge during games.
The results are testament to the winning mentality
adopted by both pupils and teachers alike.
Mr. Hodgson
All three football teams have had an
impressive start to the season with all three sides
remaining unbeaten. The Senior boys have won all
their matches comfortably. Tamilore has been the
pick of the players, dominating in midfield, and
Matthew has scored five goals in only two appear-
ances.
The under 15s team have started strong-
ly with Andrew Connor commanding in midfield,
assisted by the wide play of Bedros and Ethan.
Defensively this team has been solid, the full backs
Jake and Tomas Buckland have worked hard in
keeping the opposition out and producing some
excellent passes from the back.
Finally the under 13s team have broken
school records. The boys destroyed Kings 18-0,
then went on to break their own record by beat-
ing North London International School 23-0. A
special mention should go to First formers Harry
Young who has dominated the midfield with ag-
gressive tackling, creative play and shooting that
would not look out of place in the Senior team.
Also Yiannis who has provided strength and power
up front, scoring an unbelievable 15 goals in 4

On the 7th of October pupils from the 5th and 6th
Form were invited to experience the white water rapids at the
Lea Valley Olympic site.
The afternoon started by getting kitted out in wet-
suits and safety gear and then we were briefed on the safety
aspects of the activity. Once this was complete we practised
paddling techniques and commands on flat water, including
rescuing each other.
It was then time to take the raft onto the main 300m
course, which consisted of drops of 5.5m on the average
slopes and a pump-powered stream flow of 13 cubic metres
per second, which we were told could fill a swimming pool in
ten seconds.
We rode the rapids completing five loops of the
course and thankfully no one fell out. The boys described
their experience as their best P.E. lesson ever!

The girls have made an excellent start to the netball season. They have
been training weekly during their lunchtime sessions and during their games after-
noons. All teams have been focusing particularly on accuracy of passing and im-
proving footwork. The 1st, 2nd and 3rd Form players have been entered into the
Enfield Borough Netball League. In addition to our league games, we also partici-
pate against other Independent schools, State schools and Academies. Even
though we are so few in number, it is amazing that St. John’s regularly beats much
larger schools who have hundreds of girls to select their teams from.
Outstanding performances this year were seen by the 1st/2nd Form
mixed team with wins including 31—1 against Northbridge Independent School.
The 3rd Form team have won all of their league games, confirming their position
as top of their group to have a guaranteed place in the semi-finals in February
2012. The 3rd Form players level of skill was highlighted by beating Kingsmead
5 - 4, which is a close score, however they were actually playing Kingsmead’s 4th
Form, a year above and St. John’s still came out triumphant.
In total, we have played 18 games this term, but we have scored 230
goals compared to the oppositions measly 90 goals. What an achievement! We
will continue training throughout winter, playing friendly fixtures and subsequently
aim to continue our outstanding record until we reach the end of the netball sea-
son at Easter. The girls also have the end of season tournaments to look forward
to, which take place around March.

CROSS COUNTRY
On the 21st October all 1st to 5th Form pupils participated in the
annual cross country event. The course runs through a large woodland area
and it is quite strenuous, with up-and-downhill stretches as well as varying
surfaces, making it even more challenging. On request of the students, we
included another water station and also recruited extra 6th Form helpers to
run alongside the 1st Form students. Pupils were encouraged to beat their
individual times from previous cross country runs. We are all very proud of
the pupils’ achievements and the enthusiasm displayed on the day.
Thirty six St. John’s pupil’s
competed in the annual Cross Country
Championships at Trent Park on the 15th
November. Six teams competed in the
various age categories. This was a team
challenge and pupils ran extremely well,
with some outstanding performances in
particular by Efeilomo Akande, Megan
Jones, Harry Cox, Andrew Connor and
Tamilore Fayemi.
Golf
During my Thursday Games afternoons this term I have been playing golf
at Oakwood Park. Over the course of the term we have played Texas Scramble, in
which two teams hit as far as they can and out of the team they play the closest to
the hole. I have really enjoyed this!
In lessons we have also covered the correct technique to hit the ball,
learnt about when to use different clubs in different situations and putting skills.
Our specialist instructor Joe James is really friendly and encouraging, I think he is an
amazing teacher and I enjoy his lessons.
For anyone who does not particularly like team sports such as football,
rugby and netball, I would definitely recommend golf as an alternative Games option.
Reported by Alex Evans (2 Blue)
Tamilore displayed exceptional talent during the event and will pos-
sibly be considered for the County Championships in February 2012.
The teams achieved particularly good overall results against the
large local schools. The boys senior team came second, the girls mixed 2nd
and 3rd Form team came third and the girls senior team also achieved third
place, with the girls 1st Form team finishing 4th overall.

First Form have recently taken part in
trials for the British Schools’ Biathlon Competi-
tion. The Biathlon provides a fantastic opportuni-
ty for school children of all abilities to take part in
a multi-sports experience, with the chance of
qualifying for the British Championships.
The criteria for the Biathlon is a 50
meter swim and a 500 meter run. During P.E.
lessons, we recorded pupils ties, and the results
have been sent off to the organisers of the com-
petition. We are now awaiting the results, in the
hope that some pupils might have made it through
to the championships.
