Activ8 Day – Friday 5th July
Worthing High School held its annual Activ8 Day on Friday 5th July. Forty family groups, representing each of the
four communities took part in a carousel of activities including bench ball, softball, lacrosse, volleyball, hockey,
handball, table tennis, rowing, basketball, dodge ball, 5‐a‐side football, ultimate Frisbee, Football, Tchoukball and
tennis. Family groups were looking to earn as many points as they could for their community through team work,
participation, effort and competition. Students also had the opportunity to be awarded separate certificates based
on the legacy of London 2012: these values included Passion, Belief, Respect, Honesty, Teamwork and
Determination. There was a real sense of community ethos throughout the school which created a great
atmosphere for students and staff alike and kept spirits high despite the very hot weather! All four communities
were fantastic but this years honours went to TARRING for the first time. Congratulations!

PE Sports Presentation and Achievement Evening
Tuesday 9th July 2013
The 2nd annual PE Presentation night took place on Tuesday 9th July at
Worthing High School to a packed audience of 450 people. The guest
speaker was none other than Olympian Pete Waterfield who delighted the
crowd with stories of London 2012, past Olympics and his medal
successes.
The PE department were proud to reward those who have represented the
school so successfully this academic year. Students were awarded a
number of certificates, engraved trophies and medals throughout the
evening as well as having the chance to meet Pete and have their photo
taken with him.
A number of Special Awards were given out on the night, which included
‘Team of the Year’. This award was presented to the sports team who have
shown huge achievement, commitment and passion throughout the year
and it went to our highly successful Ricochet Dance Company,
pictured below with Pete Waterfield.

The evening was a huge success and will now become an annual event on the
school calendar. It was an excellent evening and demonstrated the huge impact
sport and physical activity has for many of our students. Congratulations to all
those who received certificates and awards. We look forward to building on
the success from September. Many thanks to all students, parents and carers
for attending the evening; the PE department look forward to seeing you all
again next year.

England squad to play in the 27th Bunbury ESCA Under 15s
Cricket Festival, to be held at Durham University, from 21 to 26

broken into the 1st team this season and taken his first wickets.
Nick said “I am very pleased with my recent performances with
the highlight being picked for SE England. I’ve worked very hard
on my game over the winter and feel that I have made a
breakthrough this year.”

Make Your Move Competition
On Saturday 8th June Ricochet took part in the British Red Cross, Make Your Move Dance
Competition. The girls put endless hours into preparing for the competition both raising
money and rehearsing the dance. The group performed extremely well and showed
professionalism throughout the day and during the performance of their dance. At the end of
the night Ricochet were presented with a bronze certificate for raising over £100 for the
British Red Cross and were also awarded the prize for ‘Best Group Dynamic’, which was
truly deserved. Well done to all the girls who took part.

George Green’s Table Tennis Diary
Last week I played in my first ever competitive table tennis
tournament, the Worthing District Tournament, which was
available for anyone, held in Worthing. I played very well
and got to the final only dropping one game however I
narrowly lost in the final; the score was 11‐9 10‐12 11‐9 11‐7.
I had two game points in the second but it wasn’t to be. I
am still am very pleased I got to the final in my first
tournament and I hope to enter many more. Adding to this I
now play in a men’s Worthing District Division 3 League
(where everyone has to start) and I hope to do very well and
move up the ranks. I would like to win Division One next
year and I hope to play for Sussex one day.

Golfer Nathan Longley hits the big time in Scotland.
Two weeks ago Nathan Longley in 11TRM flew up to Scotland to play in Scottish Boys
U16 at Porthlethen, near Aberdeen. Nathan was 1 of 120 boys competing in Scotland
with a strong national and international field and finished the tournament a very
creditable 5th place, bringing home the best score for a Great Britain & Ireland player;
he was only 3 shots behind the French winner. Nathanʹs golfing skills were truly tested
at times, having to contend with the gusting Scottish wind and rain, but he stayed
focused and played some amazing golf. After an opening round of 68, Nathan returned
three rounds in the low 70s to card an aggregate score of level par for the four rounds.
After 2 days of play, only the top 40 players went on to play another 36 holes to find a
winner. Nathan’s success in Scotland has firmly put him on the Sussex Golf radar and
no doubt he will break into County teams after this magnificent result. Nathan is off to
Portugal in July to play in the Oceanico World Kids Golf Championship played on the
Faldo course. Nathan will have a couple of days to acclimatise before playing in the
three round competition. Well done Nathan and we look forward to further success
this summer!

Marc is aiming for Rio 2016
Marc Charlesworth (9SSY) started archery in September 2010 at Worthing Archery Club and began competitive
shooting regularly in March 2012 with his first ever indoor event being the Sussex County Indoor
Championships. He won the Junior Gentlemen Recurve title in 2012 as well as breaking a number of County
Records during the season. Marc topped off a great 2012 by claiming the Junior Master Bowman Award in
September. In December, Marc entered the Junior National Indoor Championships at the Ricoh Centre in
Coventry and came 10th in his category. This annual event is the third largest competition worldwide with 450
archers competing, featuring top class international and Olympic archers. Marc is currently ranked 1st in
Sussex for Boys Junior Recurve, joint 15th nationally for Under 18ʹs and is joint 2nd for the Under 14ʹs category.
He has been privileged to represent Sussex three times in tournaments against Essex, Surrey and Hampshire
and trains 3 times per week indoors or outdoors to improve his technique. Marc has continued to progress
well during 2013 by gaining two further County Record scores and retaining his indoor county title and
recently competed at the Junior National Outdoor Championships at Lilleshall in Shropshire, the national home
of Archery. He came an impressive 2nd place for his category, missing the top prize by a mere 16 points. He
didnʹt let this faze him and went on to shoot a new personal best metric score of 1229 at the Surrey
Championships last weekend, gaining a further two County Record scores, a 1200 EAF Badge and he was the
highest scoring archer for his age group. Marcʹs success has continued as he has just added the Sussex County
Outdoor Junior Recurve Champion title at the Sussex County Outdoor Championships on 20/21 July to his
achievements to date. He is now focusing on the next tournament, the first Junior Masters Tournament to be
held for the top level junior archers in the UK comprising of a ranking round and then Head to Head
elimination rounds. Marc aspires to represent GB at the Rio Olympics in 2016 and we wish him all the best!

Well done to ALL teams and players for a fantastic season, participating in both the District Leagues
and Tournaments – despite the often unpredictable British weather causing some fixtures to be
cancelled and/or re‐arranged. Each Year Group Team had their individual successes and ‘ups and
downs’; however, I am extremely proud of their achievements, commitment and enthusiasm for
every game – team spirit remained high and fair play was displayed throughout. Well done!

Olympic Legacy—alive and kicking!
During week of 24th June to 28th June, National School Sports Week
once again came to the playing fields of Worthing High School.
Tutor Time Challenge On their designated morning, each tutor group participated in a Tutor
Group Challenge out on the school field during form time. The Challenge
consisted of 10 multi skill based activities including Giant Skip, Hockey
Dribble, Target Shooting, Relay Race and Tchoukball Catch to name but a
few, with every student electing to undertake at least one ‘challenge’. All
staff who experienced this event agreed that this was an excellent way to
start the school day!

Olympic Festival Week All through the week in an adapted PE timetable, pupils took part in a
carousel of five of the twenty six Olympic disciplines; these were
Lacrosse, Tchoukball, Table Tennis, Volleyball and Hockey. The
students were placed in to teams at the start of the week and then
during their lessons engaged in a little ‘friendly’ competition with the
winning team for each Community receiving a prize for their efforts.
The pupils all thoroughly enjoyed this opportunity to experience new,
to some, and unfamiliar, to many, sports that may not have received
quite the showcasing they deserved throughout the two weeks which
made up the London 2012 Olympiad. With so much sporting talent on
show all through the week, might Worthing High school have a future
Olympic Gold Medallist walking amongst its corridors? Only time will
tell.

James Colburn visits WHS
Ex‐student James Colburn visited Worthing High School during enrichment week
to speak to GCSE PE and BTEC Sport students about his life as a racing driver.
James races in the Renault UK Clio Cup Series and is currently ranked third in the
standings. James brought in his car, his trophies and his racing overalls to delight
and inspire students. Students were able to sit in the car whilst James talked them
through what it takes to drive a highly specialised car and the discipline required to
race at a top level whilst managing a day job during the week.
Girls Cricket
Worthing High School entered both the U15 league and
U13 girl’s outdoor leagues this year. The U15 team
finished runners‐up in their league with some excellent
performances with the bat and ball. The U13 team
(pictured right) finished 1st in their league. Throughout
their games Ella, Shania, Tammy, Lauryn and Skye were
excellent when bowling whilst Caitlyn, Erin, Emma and
Florence were indispensable with the bat. The girls
competed strongly in the semi‐final; a last wicket stand by
Ella and Erin with 6’s and 4’s off every ball was not
enough to put them into the final; the final score was
Oathall 111 v WHS 98. Well done to all students who
have taken part in cricket this season.

Flag for the Future
Community Flag Competition
The community flag design competition was a great success. The PE department
ran a competition for a flag design that represented each of the communities. We
were looking for a flag of the future – something special. After many hours
deliberating with Community Leaders, the PE department and Sport Prefects – the
successful winners were announced:
Broadwater: winning entry designed by Greg Vernon (BDH)
Heene: winning entry by Dolly Culver and HDB
Salvington: winning entry designed by Mr Smith and SJS
Tarring: winning entry designed by Munireh Lane (TAN)
Well done to all who entered the competition.

Lewis Strotten Shoots for GB Lewis Strotten (10BJG) has just been selected by Great Britain to join the elite Junior Shooting squad. Lewis only
started .22 target shooting at Aldingbourne Target Shooting club in September 2008. He quickly showed he had huge
potential to shoot well and entered his first competitions against local clubs, shooting at indoor ranges at 25 yards. In
March 2011, Lewis shot his first 100/100 in a head to head competition at Chichester Rifle club and then won the
prestigious southern area junior Chanctonbury Cup. On the back of this success, Lewis started shooting 50m on an
outdoor range which is the standard distance for commonwealth and Olympic shooting. Lewis shot the junior British
Championships at Bisley 2011 and on his first attempt, came 3rd place in the British Under 16 Championship.
Following this, he was selected for the Sussex County Junior team, whilst continuing to shoot and train at
Aldingbourne. After competing at Bisley again in August 2012, Lewis was invited by the Great Britain Junior Squad
to train with them due to achieving the minimum qualifying score of 571/600 for firing 60 shots at 50m in 50 minutes.
Joining the Great Britain Junior Squad, Lewis has now begun training in three positional shooting (standing, kneeling
and prone) and precision air rifle. In March this year, Lewis became the Sussex Under 16 Champion for indoor 25
yard prone shooting. He will also be competing for the first time at Bisley in August at the Junior International
Matches. Lewis said “I’ve learnt so much already from my involvement in the GB squad and am very excited about
my future.”

Year 8 Boys Cricket Team reach District Semi Finals After three superb wins over Durrington, Chatsmore and TLA in the league, the boys marched in to the District semi
finals at the first time of asking. With some excellent performance with the bat and ball, the boys were full of
confidence and only Shoreham Academy stood in their way en route to the final. On a windy afternoon away in the
depths of Shoreham, the WHS boys were up against it from the start as the Shoreham attack ripped through our
batting order with ruthless efficiency. Ollie Dengate scored a magnificent 18 before a Yorker took out middle stump
and sent him back to the Pavilion. Ollie also took a prized wicket in their Sussex opener but it wasn’t enough and we
had to admit defeat against a far superior side. However, over the season, all of the boys performed with spirit and
determination with some notable performances by Ben Colburn, Cam Blackburn and Kavan Sahota.

Exhibition Cricket Match on a sunny evening
The Year 9 boys cricket team played the Year 10 team on a beautiful summers evening
last week, umpired by Mr. Gill and Mr. Morris. The game had been hyped up for over a
week and both teams were sure to produce some fine performances with the bat and ball.
It came down to the last over but the Year 10 just edged out their opponents in a thrilling
match. Notable performances from Nick Oxley, Sam Hyde, Kavan Sahota and Ella
Bourne added a touch of sparkle to the evening’s play. Well done to all involved!
Thank you to all the students and staff for
your commitment, passion and enthusiasm to
School sport this year. We look forward to more
sporting success from September.
Have a great summer!
