Last Wednesday, the Year 7 girls played their rearranged indoor tournament. Due to a clash of fixtures with a basketball tournament, there were not many other teams there unfortunately. We played and won in true Medina fashion though! The girls improved with every game and played some lovely football. They enjoyed bringing home their medals and trophy. Great work girls!

Year 12 geography students visited Briddlesford Farm on Thursday to investigate how rural areas can be regenerated. We were treated to an informative history of regeneration on the farm and conducted surveys about environmental quality and identity.
During an interview with farmers Chris and Judy, we learnt about how the farm encourages social progress and were pleased to hear about how the business invests in their staff and kept everyone onboard during these last difficult two years.
The students loved getting in close to the animals and enjoyed learning about how farms like Briddlesford can have a positive impact on people and the environment. After a glass of milk and one last stroke of the calves, we came back to VI Form to present and write up our findings.
Last Friday saw the long awaited return of the Interschool Dressage competition. Students competed from Carisbrooke College, Medina College and The Island VI Form, against the other Island secondary schools. There were some fantastic individual results from our students, particularly Freya, Phoebe and Amelia.
It was a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon and so nice to see this event back on the calendar. The next event will be the Interschool Show Jumping on 20 May.
