Sketty entered the Crimebeat Gower Schools netball tournament today and played exceptionally well! Ten teams took part and we qualified for the semi finals. They had a great time and showed fantastic sportsmanship.

The girls came first in their pool, winning 3 matches against Grange, Pennard and Bishopston 10-0, 4-3 and 3-0 respectively and drew 3-3 against Dunvant. They qualified for the semi finals but unfortunately lost out to Mayals.

The girls showed tremendous tenacity and team work. They proved themselves to be a strong and confident team and are already looking forward to the next tournament.

Huge thanks to Alison Brown for coaching and umpiring today.

We have been able to secure a workshop for parents on Internet Safety as part of our NSPCC Link on Thursday 1^st February 2:00-3:00pm. Please inform the office if you would like to take part.

We urge everybody to take up the opportunity.

There  will be other workshops later in the term after school. We will get that information to you as soon as we can.

Thank you
