                                        Sports FestivalNew alliances were formed between Sternians, parents and staff to battle against the might of the LWC Pupil teams. But who was victorious…NetballStaff v Pupils: 4-8Pupils v Sternians/Parents: 11-5An outstanding display from the LWC Senior Netball Players, Sternians, LWC Staff and LWC Parents. Despite the heat, the teams brought flare and tenacity to their games with the students clinching the overall title. A huge thank you to all those involved for their efforts on the court. FootballPupils v Sternians/Parents: 1-1Pupils v Staff: 1-0Sternians/Parents v Staff: 2-0The games were good and close, with some excellent skills on show despite the heat. Sternians/Parents narrowly winning on goal difference ahead of Pupils with the staff receiving the wooden spoon. The staff were schooled by the Pupils particularly J. Philipson who had their defence running in circles and falling over. He was ably assisted by great keeping from J. Hamment and a good organised pupil team performance marshalled by B. Wagenstein. The narrow Sternian win on goal difference aided by playing a tired staff team but also great defending by W. Stone to shut out the Staff forward line.HockeyA mix of Sternians, parents, staff and even a couple of the 3rd Form joined the Boys’ and Girls’ First XIs in an epic Hockey Tournament. The players were mixed together to form 4 teams (Holland, Australia, Germany and Argentina). After a good-humoured but hard-fought battle in sweltering temperatures, Holland and Australia were tied on points but Holland was declared the overall winner having scored 12 goals to Australia’s 7. Thank you to all players and officials for laying on a fine demonstration of LWC hockey!RugbyIt was wonderful to see so many Sternians, parents and staff put on their rugby boots and head for Wilkinsons pitch.The student team and Sternian team, on count back of games won or lost, tries scored, etc resulted (incredibly) in a tie between them! The staff team righteously didn’t quite show the younger ones ‘how to do it’, but nearly did and came third and the parental team came in a slightly winded, over heated and breathless fourth place. But everyone very much enjoyed themselves.On a glorious September day (the hottest of 2023), the Beckwith was back! It was wonderful to see so many Sternians, parents, pupils, and staff (along with their gorgeous four-legged friends) enjoying the Beckwith route through the stunning LWC Campus. A delicious array of food, drink and ice-cream was on offer all day, excellent music and lots of happy faces and wagging tails, it was the perfect way to start the new term.Please do join us for this year’s Beckwith on Saturday 7 September 2024, it is such an amazing whole community event!REUNIONS Beckwith 202316
