On the 28th of November, 5 schools; AHS, Brae High School, Aith Junior High School, Sandwick Junior High School and Baltasound Junior High School all gathered at the Scalloway games hall to compete in the S2 Inter Schools Badminton Competition.

Representing AHS were Artur Vavilovs, James Smith, Keegan Brown, Ruth Anderson, Emily Gifford and Gracie Gowans Little.

For the girls, Ruth came first beating Eva Clark from Aith in the final 21-18.  For the boys James came first beating Keegan in the final 21-16, 21-11.  AHS also won the team trophy for having the highest  average points per game over the day.

The first and second place boys and girls will go onto Perth in March next year to play in the Scottish Schools Badminton competition.  We wish Keegan, Ruth, James and Eva from Aith good luck.

Anderson High School had the pleasure of welcoming the Scottish Rugby Union into school last Friday as part of their tour around the country with the Calcutta Cup.  Chris Patterson, ex player and current leading points scorer for Scotland accompanied the cup.  Two of our S3 P.E. classes experienced a coaching session with Chris on Friday afternoon and had a great session.  Our thanks go to Active Schools for organising the visit and supporting the sessions that were held.

Great effort in the 800 and 100 metre races.
