Student rowers close to breaking British 100m sprint records

Students in The Hurlingham Academy rowing club are very close to breaking the British 100m sprint records according to Ms Meghann Jackson, Schools’ Manager at Fulham Reach Boat Club, a charity who support the club.  Ms Jackson is a holder of two world records for distances on the erg (ergometer or erg = a device used to measure the amount of work performed).  She has also officiated the last six British records broken by students at Fulham Reach Boat Club.  Mr Ross Cheetham, PE teacher, emailed Ms Jackson the latest times from 28 September 2018 for Herve Amon, Tyler Brindle, Shae Richardson, Shqiponja Hetemi, Arina Mjasnika and Ivana Mabou and it became clear to her that this group are close to breaking the 100m sprint record.  To that end, Ms Jackson spent an hour with the rowing club on Friday showing students how to get that extra percentage and maximise their potential.  While records were not broken, students are very close and could do so in future.

Ms Jackson said after the rowing session,

“These students are truly inspiring and so enthusiastic. They will surely break the records that have been sent and I’m happy to come in more often to support them”

We are currently in the month of Ramadan. Many know Ramadan as a time for fasting, where those participating abstain from eating or drinking during daylight hours. We recognise that this can be a challenge for many, and I would just like to take this opportunity to say how pleased I have been with pupils commitment to their studies over the past couple of weeks.

On Monday we held our termly parent forum. This is always one of my favourite evenings of the term. Of course, it is fantastic to hear all the things that you think we are doing well here at the school, but it was also great to hear your suggestions about how we can improve. I always say that it is only by working together that we will achieve the best for our children.

Following our assembly with Mme Francis on Monday, which celebrated all things reading and world book day, I started thinking about how much we can learn from books. We can learn about different cultures, times in history, be transported to different parts of the world, or possibly different parts of the galaxy.
