1 2 London Youth Games 13 students from year 10 had a fantastic opportunity to volunteer at this year’s London Youth Games, held at Crystal Palace sports centre. The 13 students were selected from the year group as potential sports leaders of the future and undertook two 2 hour training sessions at the Academy with David Smith, the Croydon schools sports co-ordinator in the Games Force training programme. The group was split into two with some helping at the special swimming competition and the others helping to umpire at the tennis tournament. All the students had an amazing experience which they will never forget. Our hope is that they will go onto to volunteer at many other sporting events in the borough and continue with their leadership training next year. Euro 2016 Every two years the Academy holds it’s World and Euro football tournaments in line with the official tournaments. This year the Euro 2016 tournament took on a new look with the houses organising their own teams and representing countries. For two weeks every lunchtime teams competed in groups and then in the knockout stages until the final on the last Friday of the second week. Over 100 students from across the whole Academy came to watch every lunchtime whilst others played Fifa on the Xbox and PS3 in the internet café to raise money for charity. The tournament saw Portugal play Wales in the final, and just like in the official tournament, Portugal won 2-1! 3 4 Croydon Sports Day On Thursday 7th July the first House sports day took place at the Academy! During a fun packed day we saw 26 new year group records broken, as well as 4 whole school records! We also crowned Keller House as the first champions of the Academy House Sports Day, congratulations! A special mention needs to go to Megan French who broke 5 year records in 1500m, 800m, 300m & high jump, with the high jump also being a whole school record. Davina Boateng broke 2 year records in 100m and 200m which were also whole school records too, and Harley Breslin-Ward who broke the whole school shot-put record.
