Hill Walking Group
On Saturday, the St. Clare's Hill Walking Club went exploring in the Cotswolds.
Eleven students from IB1 and IB2 started their walk in the classic Cotswolds
village of Guiting Power. The first trio to lead the group were Yuliya,
Tara and Maya on this 14.5 km route. The remaining members of the group
also displayed their map reading skills along the Windrush Way and through
Guiting Wood. A picnic overlooking the ancient Hamlet of Hawling completed
a very enjoyable day.
Running Club
On Sunday, eight IB1 students who are members of the St. Clare's Running
Club took part in the Woodstock Rotary Club's annual 10 km road race in
aid of the Alzheimer's Society.
Blenheim Palace grounds provided the picturesque course for the 658 runners.
Philip Glocker was the first member of the team home in 45:22 mins. In
the overall rankings he was the 153rd person to cross the line. Yuliya
Teterina completed the course in 52:37 mins and was placed first in the

Women's Football report
On Tuesday last the St. Clare's women's football team played their first
match of the year. The team was defeated 2-1 in a thrilling encounter
with Bellerby's College, Oxford. The St. Clare's goal came from Virginia
Taroni (English Course) after some good work by Kate Mulee and Fabienne
Nassy (both IB1). The Celtic Kevin's (Ryce and Hennessy) were very pleased
with the second half display from the women. The squad consists of students
from the Banbury Road Campus and Bardwell Road Centre. The team continues
