Yesterday thirty Y5/6 athletes had a wonderful time competing in the District Athletics Championships at Monkton Stadium. All of our teams performed superbly; while our A team were overall District Champions- an outstanding achievement!
Our children had a great attitude in training and everyone strived for personal best performances in the finals. Once again, the support throughout the squad for each other was so positive and up lifting- well done everyone!
The A team will now go on to represent South Tyneside in the County Finals on Friday 27th June at Monkton Stadium. They will compete against the best athletes from Newcastle, North Tyneside, Sunderland and Gateshead.
It was great to see so much support for St. Bede’s children from our school community inside the stadium, which really helped inspire our teams!
Congratulations to our whole squad on a great day’s athletics and good luck to our A team in the County Finals!
Meanwhile, on a personal note I was very proud of how much the children have developed holistically as both athletes and people during their sporting journey over the last four years; in what for many was their last competitive event for St. Bede’s. They all were a credit to themselves, their family and our school.
