🎉 Congratulations, Mia! 🥈
We are thrilled to share that Year 10 student Mia has achieved an incredible silver medal at the Kent County Athletic Championships in the Under 17s category, with a new personal best of 41.50m (1st place was 42.05m)!
Not only is this a personal triumph, but it also breaks a Medway and Maidstone Athletics Club record that has stood since 2014! 💥
Mia’s outstanding throw now qualifies her at a National Standard, placing her 1st in the Southeast and among the top 10 in the UK. 🇬🇧
What a phenomenal achievement — fantastic throwing, Mia! 💪🏽👏🏽

This afternoon Father Dermott O`Gorman celebrated Mass for our Deanery Retreat Day. In his homily he reminded us that Jesus Christ is our Hope. He also asked us to consider how we find ourselves as Pilgrims of Hope, and how the young people in our care, look to us in Hope.
