Hollie wins heats of Rotary Club Young Chefs Competition

Congratulations to year 11 student Hollie, who won the Watford Rotary Club Heats of the Young Chefs Competition. The competition was held at the Food Academy, West Herts College, and was judged by chefs at the Food Academy.

Hollie represented St Clement Danes School in the competition and had two hours to cook two healthy dishes. Judges Pedro and Andy praised Hollie’s entries, stating she had completed her dishes in fine style, and awarded her entries 118/130 marks. As a result of winning the heats, Hollie will now go on to compete in the regional final at North Herts College, which will be held in February.

Hollie’s dishes were a Butternut and Feta Risotto and a reduced fat and sugar Chocolate Fondant, which the judges stated both looked and tasted excellent.

Well done to Hollie on her success; we wish her continuing success at the regional finals in February.

Sporting Success: A Season of Triumphs for the PE Faculty

It has been an exceptional start to the year for our sports teams, with pupils across Year 7 and Year 11 delivering outstanding performances on the pitch, the court and the track. Here is a roundup of the latest results from the PE Faculty. Football Successes: The Year 11 Boys football team produced a fantastic display to reach the U16 County Cup Quarter Finals. While all 15 squad members contributed superbly to the team effort, special mention must go to Frankie and Myles, who were named Players of the Match after scoring two spectacular long range strikes. Ollie and Sammy also found the net to complete the scoring. Meanwhile, the Year 7B team showed true grit in wet conditions to secure their second win in the district league against CDS. A great goal from David and a composure-filled penalty from Player of the Match, Zak, secured the victory.  Athletics Achievements: Our Year 7 Athletics teams have seen their dedication pay off after training hard on Thursdays throughout the term. At the TR&W SSP Indoor Athletic Meeting, the Girls’ team took home a brilliant 1st place, while the Boys’ team finished a strong 3rd. We also have a massive individual achievement to celebrate. Theo (Year 7) has been crowned the U13 South of England Shot Put Champion at the Lee Valley Indoor Track. In what was his first-ever indoor competition, Theo smashed his personal best by 50cm. He also showed great pace on the track, reaching the semi-finals of the U13 60m sprint and missing out on the final by a heartbreaking 0.06 seconds. Basketball Season Opener: The basketball season got off to a super start with a thrilling game against Rickmansworth School. In a contest between two evenly matched sides, our team came out on top, led by a fine performance from captain Seth. Congratulations to all pupils for their hard work and sportsmanship!
