Rowan Pelling talks at Prize Giving Many congratulations to all those girls who received a prize at Prize Giving on 27th June. This year pupils, parents and staff alike enjoyed a humourous, inspiring and philosophical speech by Rowan Pelling, writer, broadcaster and Old Girl. Rowan reflected not only on her own days at Wally Hall but also on how sometimes life's failures can be as positive as life's triumphs. You can read Rowan's thoughts on her return to Wally at www.dailytelegraph.co.uk. Rowan is pictured here with our Head and Deputy Head Girls. Wally U16 Lacrosse Players win Coldwell Cup On June 27th, six U15 lacrosse players travelled to Welwyn to play in the U16 section of the Coldwell Cup, an annual 6-a-side tournament that has only recently added a girl's section. In some very hot and muggy conditions, the team played very well and notched up a draw, a loss and 2 wins to take them straight into the final against Hatchend Hawks. In a very tense final, the teams kept pace with each other until with the score level at 4-4, the U15s put in 2 quick goals to edge ahead and win the match 6-4. They received the U16 winners trophy and an invitation to return next year to defend their title. Well done to all the players on a great day's play and for each taking a turn in goal - a real team effort by everyone! Upper Fifth Flower Power The Upper Fifth embraced Flower Power on 23rd June when they hosted the annual Walthamstow Hall party for residents of the Peckham Settlement. As well as donning their hippy finest the girls decorated Salmon Wing and created an afternoon of music, comedy and quizes, all rounded off with a fabulous tea. more pictures Wally Hall Athletes Excel Many congratulations to our Athletics squad who have achieved exceptional performances this summer.
