For a few months now, Mr Wallace has written weekly summaries of our students' sporting adventures and made them available to Dane Court staff. They are always full of detail and capture the highlights of some exciting clashes. Here is the first of those roundups to be made available to everyone.
On Sunday 30 September 2012 five of Dane Court's sixth form, led by Head Boy Dominic Woodward did their part to help increase the awareness of the
critically endangered tiger as part of International Tiger Day. Using their sports skills Zoe, Dominic and Ellison dressed as tigers and were supported by Wian and Beth, they engaged both young and old in a variety of sporting activities and in turn leading them to find out more about why tigers are under threat.
Supporting the David Shepherd Wildlife Foundation, who had an event running in Surrey and supporting those in Vladivostok, Novopokrovka and Luchegorsk in Russia, Ellison, Wian, Zoe, Beth and Dominic had a fun day and played an important role in creating awareness, increasing education and raising funds for the remaining 3000 tigers left in Asia.
Dom Woodard - "It feels great to do something that really helps, it saddens me to think that such an iconic species is so close to extinction."
On 10 September 2012 we hosted our annual prize evening at the Winter Gardens in Margate. This outstanding event rewards and showcases the talents and achievements of our brightest and best students in all year groups.
The school was delighted that the Mayor and Mayoress of Broadstairs, and the Mayor of Margate, himself an ex Dane Court Student, were able to attend.
The guest speaker this year was Ms Jeanette Horan, the Chief Information Officer of IBM. Ms Horan is the sister of Dane Court asssistant headteacher, Mrs Linda Felstead.
Our Year 10 Football Team, twice winners of the Kent Cup, have been short-listed for the voting stage of this year's Kent Sports Awards promoted by Kent Regional News and Media.
Since year seven this team has lost just one game of football against other Kent opposition (played 35, won - 31, drawn - 1, lost - 3). Last year they won the U13 Kent Cup 4-0 and reached the third round of the National Cup. This year they reached the last 16 (round 8) of the National Cup, from over 800 entries. They also won the Kent Cup for the second year in a row, 3-1, a feat very rarely achieved, on both occasions beating schools with at least twice as many boys to choose from in the year group.
They have never lost a game of Futsal in Kent and have been Kent Champions in Years seven, eight and nine. In year seven and eight they represented the county in the National Tournament and this year in the Southern Regions Tournament.
