On Friday 12th June, 10 year 9 mathematicians visited Exeter University for a day to experience what a future using mathematics might hold for them. The girls were treated to various sessions introduced by female mathematicians and how they use maths in the careers. These ranged from the chief pharmacologist from Torbay Hospital, a quantity surveyor and a fascinating and thought provoking session from mathematicians from the met office in Exeter. The girls also received a talk from a first year student and a 4th year student on how they have enjoyed their time at university and the opportunities they have had. The girls were an absolute pleasure and thoroughly enjoyed their day in the exciting new campus buildings.

We had a great turn out from the GCSE and other members of year 10 for a rounders fixture against Launceston. The boys played first and had a great game with some excellent batting and fielding skills which resulted with the boys gaining a win.

The girls then had a great game where they kept a close scoreline until the last 8 balls when the Launceston boys got several of our players out. The final result was a lose but it was a great close game.

The final game was a mixed team which was very exciting it went down to the last ball when Ryan Brimacombe had to get a rounder to win the game, so no pressure at all!!! Ryan played a great game and secured a rounder which meant we won the game.

The year 10s played with great sporting etiquette and where a credit to the College.

Well done
