On Saturday 20th May, for the very first time, St Anne’s School, Year 5 & 6 pupils took part in a variety of events at the Guernsey Youth Games. They absolutely loved the experience and we’re still riding high on the success of it over here in Alderney.

Under the guidance of Guernsey Sports Commission coaches and with the financial support of Alderney Sports Foundation, a strong spirit of sports participation has been awakened in many of our young people and we are confident that this is just the start of many future successful sporting endeavours for our learners here at St Anne’s.

Christmas came early for students at St. Anne’s school who have signed up for the Duke of Edinburgh Award. They are seen here wearing their cosy new sweatshirts which were sponsored by The Blonde Hedgehog Hotel. Students following the award are busy completing their volunteering, physical and skills sections at the moment with varied activities such as football, singing, photography, playing guitar, horse riding and volunteering at KFA and youth club. Their expedition training starts in the New Year and they are sure to be grateful for their stylish new sweatshirts. Huge thanks from the students go to Tracey and Julie-Anne at the Blonde Hedgehog for kindly sponsoring the tops and Claudia at Sew Much Fun for the beautiful embroidery.
