🏐 S1–S3 Netball Season Closer Festival 🏐

Today we travelled to KGV in Dumfries with two teams to compete in the Junior Summer Festival.

Both teams played in preliminary round-robin tournaments during the morning sessions. The A Team progressed to the Cup competition, while the B Team advanced to the Bowl competition for the afternoon matches.

The A Team faced some very tough opposition, winning 3 games and drawing 1 this afternoon. The B Team were outstanding throughout, winning all of their games comfortably.

An incredible achievement for both teams, coming home with gold medals in their respective competitions! 🥇🥇

Congratulations to Abbie Cluckie, who was voted Overall MVP for the A Team, and Sophie Ferguson, who was voted MVP for the B Team. 👏

A huge thank you as well to our super seniors, Macy and Alex, for coming along to help on the day. Superstars and fabulous role models for our younger players! ⭐

Absolutely brilliant performances from everyone in very hot conditions — a fantastic way to close the season!

Today saw the final MasterChef competition of the year, with the S1 final taking place — and what an exceptional standard it was! The judges had a very difficult job deciding on the winners, with lots of discussion and debate throughout.

🥣 Best Starter went to Skye McDowall for her delicious butternut squash soup.

🍽️ Best Main Course was awarded to Lily McShabe for her creamy leek and ham chicken with mash.

🍫 Best Dessert went to Calie McDowall for her chocolate brownies.

A huge well done to everyone who took part — you should all be incredibly proud of yourselves for your hard work, creativity, and effort.

We would also like to say a huge thank you to our judges for giving up their free time to be involved and support the event.

🏆 Best Starter
Grace Foreman with her delicious sweet potato soup served with homemade croutons.

🏆 Best Main Course
Isabelle Chappell with her venison served alongside mashed potatoes, asparagus and a blue cheese sauce.

🏆 Best Dessert
Izzy Gee with her mini egg cookies.

Another fantastic class full of dishes to be proud of. Well done S2.2
