Summer Sporting Success at Raine's |
|
Raine's Foundation School has continued to dominate the sport scene at Borough level with a series of outstanding successes. Raine's reputation in basketball is unsurpassed by any other school in the country. Three pupils have played in the England team in the past few months. Olu Badejo and Aaron James played in the England Under 13 team in a competition in Paris, France. Despite stiff competition against Germany, Yugoslavia, Belgium, Holland and France, they both helped the England team to victory in the international championship with Olu Badejo scoring over 20 points per game. Ricky Foster-Barry was also selected for the Under 13 England team but was unable to participate. Dave Ajumobi also continues to be selected for the England Under 14 National Basketball team. The Under 14 girls team won the Tower Hamlets Schools Basketball Tournament beating Bishop Challener, Oaklands and Mulberry School. The Under 13 girls team are currently playing in the England Schools Basketball Association Regional Competition. The teams remain unbeaten this year. In athletics, Raine's Foundation School have continued to dominate in Tower Hamlets this term. They were the boys Under 12, Under 13 and Under 15 Borough Champions with the girls being the Under 12, Under 13 and Under 15 Borough Champions. Raine's Foundation School won the overall Borough Championship Shield the 3rd year running for the boys and the 4th year running for the girls. Superb performances by Joe Anderson (Under 13) in 1500m, Aaron James (Under 13) in the 100m and long jump, Caryl Whittaker (Under 15) in 200m and long jump and Enibokun Owen-Amadasun (Under 15) in the triple jump helped clinch the championships. The Under 13 boys competed at the South East England Regional Schools Final finishing a very creditable 4th place. Two girl athletes won London School Championship titles in the past few weeks. Millie Zah is the London School's Under 12 Champion in both long jump and hurdles and Raquel Feeley is the London School's Under 12 Champion in 200m. Samuel Canon is one of England's top Under 15 table tennis players and continues to represent the Borough in regional competitions. Headteacher Paul Hollingum congratulated the team's achievements this term: "Both the boys and girls teams have shown an exceptionally high level of team play this term and deserve their successes. Congratulations are especially due to the dedicated staff who give up so much time to coach and manage the various teams."
