This year saw selected students who excel in Rugby gain free places to watch London
Irish v Exeter Chiefs at the Madjeski stadium. It was an incredible spectacle with
a London Irish win. With a drop goal in added time, it was a special way to win a
hard-fought contest. The students were given large flags to wave during the game
and were invited to create the tunnel on the pitch for the players to run through after
the half-time break. At the end of the game, our match day sponsor invited the whole
group up to the players' lounge where students met all the players from London Irish.
Havingphotos, andgettingflags andprogrammes signed, was ahighlight for anumber
of students. A HUGE thank-you must go out to the company PUMP TECHNOLOGY
who allowed us to keep the cost right down by providing free tickets and enable this
incredible opportunity for a special, and hardworking, cohort of students.Dan Gillard

Year 9 students Ewan Baker, Libby Daymond, Lewis Dennis,
Felix Dennison, Issy Sadler, Teya Sheppard and Joe Windsor
have been taking part in a partnership-run programme this
year, targeted at 'Most Able students in PE'.
These students have had the opportunity to work closely with
a local sports physiotherapist to support their performance
and development in sport through a series of five sessions
throughout the year. Sessions at the physio-clinic in Exmouth,
and at Exeter University, involved working on nutrition for sport
and working on functional movement and injury prevention.

Another group of KEVICC students have embarked on their
Duke of Edinburgh journey. This is the leading youth charity
and gives all young people aged 14-24 the chance to develop
skills for life and work, to fulfil their potential and to have a
brighter future. This year's students have taken up a whole
host of volunteering opportunities, ranging from creating
their very own ECO council; working in a local swimming
club and working in local charity shops. Activities being
completed as part of their Skill and Physical sections range
from building computers; swimming; and learning guitar
and piano to name but a few. If you would like to gain a
nationally recognised award that looks fantastic on your
College applications, please see Mr Gillard in P.E. at any time!

KEVICC sealed their first Under-19 Girls'
Table Tennis title in thrilling fashion. They
dominated the National Schools' Team
Championships, comfortably beating their
first two opponents before a hard-earned
victory against SRC Bede Sixth Form which
saw the dynamic team of Lily Goddard,
Holly Johns, Jaz Johns and Elsa Perry seal
their victory with a 5-3 win.
Team coach Kerrie O’Neill said: 'I couldn't
be more proud of the girls - they played
outstanding table tennis all day, fighting
hard for every win.'
We are all very happy with winning the
championship for table tennis. All of us
played really well in all our matches,
especially Lily who only started playing
the game a few months ago.

Victory came our way in the
Devon & Cornwall Archery
Society Winter Title, aided
by a massive score of
519 out of 600 by Lizzie
Garner. Our winning team were presented
with medals and County Gold Medals. Our
members have been competing all over
the county, achieving victory in several
classes, especially in the junior ranks. Lily
Howe, a non-KEVICC student, has set six
new county records so far this year, and
became Indoor County Champion over
the winter.The club recently shot against
Brixham in the national On Target Club
Knock-out Competition and gave a good
account of ourselves, as did Lizzie Gardner
in her senior team debut.
