Thank you to those parents who could join us for an informational session as part of the Year 6 Taster Day! We hope that your child had an enjoyable experience in the Upper School, and that you learnt a little bit about who we are, as well as some aspects of life in Year 7. Here is a link to the parent presentation that was shared on the morning, and we look forward to further events to ensure that the students have a positive and well informed start to next year.

SPORTS NEWS & MATCH REPORTS Senior Boys Football - vs King Alfred 20/01/2020 Dwight 4 - 7 King Alfred At 2:40 we arrived at the field for our pre-match warm up against King Alfred, during the warm up we had to stay very warm as the weather was very cold outside. Once we had finished the warm up we had a team talk before the game talking about how we could get the better of our opponents. And then the game began… We started off with a very good and high press, this helped us get the first goal of the game, the goal was scored by Areg. Sadly lots of things went downhill after that. We managed to concede 5 goals back-to-back, but there is no one to blame. And then the half ended, we had our important team talk and then we were back off. We went into the second half with hunger and desire, and the first 20 minutes were crucial as we pulled back 3 goals, thanks to goals from Pooya M4, Kamran M5 and Fabian M4. This made the score line come back to 5-4. Coming to the end of the game we lost our focus and I think their age started to kick in (as they were 16 and 17 years old). The final score was 7-4 to King Alfreds, but I think we all played really well especially Evandro M5 who was nominated as Man Of The Match by Mr Clare. Zyan Jagani - M3
Senior Boys Basketball - vs UCS 20/01/2020 UCS 60 - 56 Dwight On Monday, the Dwight Lions Varsity team played a game against UCS Ringers. Dwight, with 6 players, fought hard all throughout the game against UCS, 12 players, and showed a stronger and team working squad. Unluckily , Dwight lost the game by only 4 points (56-60).
