Yesterday evening we were blessed to be able to take 12 students to Arundel Cathedral for the Festival of Flowers and Mass for Corpus Christi. The students started strong, climbing the hill up to the Cathedral in gusty winds to view the amazing carpet of flowers laid in the aisle which would later become the way for the Lord to exit carried in procession.
The Mass was a high point, with beautiful music (some of our own students in the choir) and the chance to reflect on the importance of the Eucharist in our understanding of the world as a gift from God.
As with any sporting fixture in the UK, we did have a rain disruption, and the Eucharistic procession had to take place in the Cathedral rather than the longer outside route to the castle. The students adapted well to this change and were praised by lots of the congregation for their reverence during this time.
The mass was presided over by the Abbot Paul Gunter of Douai Abbey and concelebrated by Cardinal Timothy Radcliffe, who was part of the conclave which elected Pope Leo last year. The Cardinal came to speak to our students, who were all excited to meet him and later Abbot Paul said a special blessing for Ele in Year 7 too.
A brilliant experience for all, and we are very proud of our students.

πβ€οΈπ€ DISTRICT LEAGUE FINALISTS! β€οΈπ€π
Today we took on Angmering in challenging conditions, with sunshine, showers, and eventually rain interrupting play. Despite the weather, the girls were determined to get the game finishedβand what a performance it was!
We started brilliantly in the field, restricting Angmering to just 4 rounders in their first innings. Our batting response was outstanding, with some excellent hitting and running taking us to 12Β½ rounders at the end of the innings.
Angmering came back strongly in the second innings, posting 14Β½ rounders, before the rain forced a stoppage. With uncertainty over whether the fixture would need to be replayed, the girls showed incredible determination and were eager to get back out and finish the game.
When play resumed, it took just 10 balls for the team to get the job done! Reaching 15 rounders and securing the win with 20 balls still remaining was an incredible effort and means we have booked our place in the District League Rounders Final! π
β Player of the Match: Liv Payne β
Another outstanding performance from Liv, who scored 5Β½ rounders in the first innings.
A huge congratulations to all the girls for their effort, resilience, and team spirit.
Roll on Finals Day! πͺπ
