Swale Youth Forum Meeng

Wednesday 21 May 2014

Five of our Year 8 and 9 students aended a Swale Youth Forum Meeng on Wednesday 21 May

along with other schools in the Swale area. Meengs are usually held in the Swale Borough

Council chambers, but due to local elecon acvity, this meeng was hosted by The AbbeySchool, Faversham. As a result, it is hoped that future meengs will be hosted by other parci-

pang schools, so our students are hoping we can take our turn.

Students discussed local issues with Swale Borough Council representaves and met the new

Mayor, Cllr Bobbing.

Our students enjoyed the experience and represented Oasis Academy in an exemplary fashion,

acvely taking part in discussion and oering suggesons. I was extremely proud of them and

their conduct.

The girls are planning to write a report detailing the main points and opportunies for further

involvement arising from this meeng.

Kent School Games—Rugby Tag Finals

Year 7 & 8 Girls finish fourth in Kent!

With a backdrop of Tonbridge School and world class facilities the day promised to be one the girls would re-

member. 12 schools across Kent took part in the Kent School Games Rugby Tag finals. With a few last minute

dropouts the girls arrived to the tournament with a bare seven to a school building one of the girls referred to

as ‘Hogwarts’. The girls were very nervous before their first match, as many of them had only ever played rug-

by in their PE lessons back in September, the team organised around the most experienced three players Bil-

lie Halliday, Chloe Sledge and Katie Kew. The girls lead by example with great solo runs and superb support

lines of running to win the first game 7-5. The second game saw another fantastic start by the girls with all sev-

en players now fully taking the fight to the opposition. The highlight of the scores came from Billie Halliday who

dodged and jinked past 4 players running two thirds of the pitch. The girls finished excellent second game

clear winners!

The third match was a step up in opposition and the girls were quickly 2 tries down. On two occasions the girls

came close to scoring but were pulled up by the referee for infringements. After some great passing down the

line the girls were finally able to score in the corner. The half time whistle following shortly with the girls 3 -1

down. The second half saw the girls rally and lift their heads and it was a much closer game. The match was

tied 3-3 with two minutes to play. After a good attacking phase from us the opposition broke out wide and

scored a dubious try in the corner to take the lead. The final seconds of the game saw the girls moving the ball

wide where Billie was able to break and make a clear run to the line. Despite their best efforts, they lost 4-3

and the girls were clearly disappointed. With no rest after any of the games the girls faced their last pool game

and with their minds still on their previous game conceded quickly. Cydney Arnold responded by running

strongly to the corner to score her first try of the day. The game followed a similar pattern for the majority of the

game. Unfortunately the opposition was able to get a lucky break and score a well-worked try in the last few

minutes to finish winners.

The girls’ final match saw them in the third and fourth place play off again Highworth Grammar School. With no

rest between the games, a very tired Sheppey team took to the field. The game was very fast with both teams

running the length and width of the pitch to finish the half 2-2. The girls put all their last reserves of energy into

the game but were playing a squad of 11 players, the efforts of the previous matches started to show and they

conceded two unanswered tries. The girls were frustrated as if they were fresh and full of energy the result

could have been very different. The girls were the only team to play all four matches in row as they sat the first

game out and they were the only team with seven players. They played incredibly well and were proud of their

achievement finishing 4th overall. Well done!
