Year 7 rugby team put up good fight in 7-4 defeat

Danes Student Journalist (and team captain), Dan McGee (7B) reports ...

The experienced St Joan of Arc team were too much for Mr Watkinson’s Year 7 boys rugby team on Saturday morning. The game, which was relocated to the Joan of Arc 3G astroturf pitch, started with Vice-Captain Roraigh Browne ‘optimistic for a St Clement Danes win.’

Joan of Arc began spiritedly, scoring three early points. Each came from Man of the Match Brandon. He then scored his fourth before St Clement Danes’ Callum Scott pounced to make it 4-1.

Roraigh then ran through to make it 4-2 but, an intercepted pass made it 5-1. Unfortunately, it then became one sided when two quick tries got St Joan of Arc 7-1 in front.

St Clement Danes did not give up, though, as Callum Scott and James Hems scored as the final whistle blew. 7-4 was the final score; the team had done themselves proud.

Men of the Match: Brandon (St Joan of Arc), Parsia Zarkesh (St Clement Danes)

Charities Week 2025

The halls of St Clement Danes School have been buzzing with holiday cheer this week as the annual Charities Week is officially in full swing. As the Autumn Term draws to a close, pupils and staff have united to raise vital funds for three incredible causes: Endometriosis UK, Spread a Smile, and Herts Young Homeless. The school is alive with the spirit of giving, driven by a jam packed ‘Advent’ schedule designed to get everyone involved in the fundraising efforts. This year’s itinerary has been filled with exciting activities, ranging from pupil led lessons and a "Mystery Bucket" challenge to the competitive excitement of the "Elf Auction" and various competitions. Pupils have also enjoyed the classic "Sponge the Teacher" event and a visit to Santa’s Grotto, ensuring the festive atmosphere is matched only by the community’s generosity. Beyond the classroom activities, pupils have been sharing the festive spirit with the wider community. On 18th December, the SCD Senior Choir paid a special visit to Chorleywood Manor Care Home. The residents were treated to a beautiful selection of Christmas carols, featuring performances by members of the Chamber Choir, Evensong Choir, and the Barbershop Choir. Year 12 pupils Immy and Chrissie noted that "it was a very joyful occasion and it was lovely to see the residents joining in and looking so happy." The success of such a busy week relies heavily on pupil leadership, and the school extends a massive vote of thanks to Year 13 for their incredible hard work and dedication. Their enthusiasm have been the driving force behind this week's fundraising efforts. The week is set to conclude on Friday with the Grand Finale: the highly anticipated Sixth Form Revue, promising a spectacular end to a week of community, charity and celebration.
