Dear Parents and Carers
 
The cleaning and electrical works in the kitchen and dining area have now been completed as planned and I can confirm that the main kitchen and dining area will be open from Monday, 24th February, so there is no need to provide packed lunches from home. We will, initially, be restricted in the range of meals we offer, but there will be hot and cold meals available from this date.
 
Thank you all very much for supporting us through this process and thank you also to the students for their flexibility and co-operation with the temporary arrangements we have had to put in place.
 
Yours sincerely
 
Derrick Brett
Principal

 Our Year 10 rugby team put in a gallant effort to seal a massive victory over a strong West Buckland side in their semi-final match in the Devon Cup.
​
 The date and opponent for the final are yet to be confirmed.

 We had 2 Year 7 girls teams play St Peters yesterday afternoon away.
​
The A team drew 8-8 and the B team won 10-8.

This was an away fixture played outside, so all students did terrifically and showed resilience in tough matches in cold conditions, still coming out successful.

​Thank you to Mrs Colton for taking them.

 On Wednesday 5th February, our Key Stage 3 Hockey players travelled to St Peters in Exeter where we had a fabulous evening of hockey.  Our B Team won 17-1 and our A team drew 3-3.
 Thanks to Will Bonnett for organising the team, showing great leadership skills.  Everyone who played did so with enthusiasm, commitment and positive team work. 

Well done to all and keep developing those hockey skills.

 The girls played magnificently on a cold windy astro. Year 9 had a smashing match beating Mount Kelly 23-12 and Year 10 had an extremely close game, that went too and fro throughout the match, but they managed to dig deep and secured the victory, 22-20.

​ Well done to all the girl’s involved, they conducted themselves fantastically well, and were resilient in cold netball conditions!

A massive well done to Okehampton College U13 Girls Indoor Cricket Teams. Both the A & B teams were undefeated in the West Devon U13 Girls Indoor Finals Day (30/1/20) until they met each other in the final game.
Congratulations go to the A team who were the eventual winners. Both teams had excellent wins over Tavistock College and Ivybridge College A & B teams.

 Mr Harris will now pick a squad to represent West Devon and Okehampton College in the U13 Girls Indoor Cricket County Finals in Exeter in March.
Well done and thank you to all involved.  A Special thank you also to Ann-Marie Presswell for organising and Tavistock College for hosting. It was an excellent day of cricket.
