On Thursday 6th March it was our last game of the season for our Year 8 Boys against Douay Martyrs. We started the game extremely well going 2-0 within the first 20 minutes. However, Douay Martyrs are a very good team and they came back to 2-2 at the end of the first half. In the second half, again we started really strong and scored 2 more goals and one of our players got a hat trick. Leading 4-2 towards the end of the second half and again Douay Martyrs came back to 4-4 and the match ended. Compared to last season, the boys have played really well, managing 2 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss. They should be very proud of the improvement they have made this season. Well done!

On 23rd January, 38 students from Rosedale College were taken on an unforgettable trip to London’s West End to see the best show in town – Les Misérables. Despite the heavy rain, we arrived at the magnificent Sondheim Theatre with time to spare. The students were very excited and once the performance started, they sat in hushed awe and enjoyed the spectacle before them. Every single one of them thoroughly enjoyed the show and they spent the journey home talking about what they had seen and what their favourite part was. For many it was their first experience in a West-End theatre, but judging by their smiles, it will not be their last.
