On Saturday the U14 Girls Basketball team had their end of season tournament at the Vienna International School.
Six teams from Vienna and Budapest participated in this event and it was clear from the start that the standard of competition was extremely high.
The girls faced local team ICSB first, who they have already competed twice against this season.
With a composed and disciplined start to their first game, the girls quickly went ahead at the end of the first half. They approached the second half with equal determination and finished this match with a convincing win: a fantastic start to the tournament!
The girls needed a win in the second of their group games against AISV to progress to the final. Despite another impressive performance the girls lost this one, with AISV proving to be a very experienced and organised side (eventually going on to win the tournament).
The girls’ final game was a 3rd place playoff where the girls faced local team, AISB. Despite a loss against this team last week, the girls’ crisp passing, quick movement around the basket and composed shooting gave the girls the lead going into half time. Unfortunately, tiredness kicked in later in the second half and AISB pulled away in the final quarter, finishing the game 24:16. This resulted in a 4th place finish for the girls overall.
This team have worked extremely hard all season and have continuously demonstrated fantastic team work, resilience and passion. Lots of positives to take away from this experience and some key areas for focus as they go back to training before the next competition: the NAGGE event next week. Watch this space…

Year 12 have been spending a lot of time in Sports Hall One over the last week. Not doing sport, although they could tell you the science behind it…
There was a fun packed programme for the secondary students remaining on-site, which followed the 5 Co-Curricular strands. Students were immersed in languages, film-making, STEAM activities and cooking. They learned about children's rights and advocacy, and showed their creative talents through artwork. They hiked in the hills and formed friendships across year groups. See the Firefly page for further details and photographs
It has been a very memorable end of the primary journey for our Year 6 students. This last week of term has been jam packed. On Monday and Tuesday, the students performed the end of year production of ‘Olivia’, on Tuesday morning, there was a year group water fight and on Wednesday afternoon, they finally graduated with a special ceremony.
As a community, we've been actively promoting healthy eating habits through our weekly articles about life in the kitchen. With the summer holidays just a few days away and the heatwave this summer, we must all be more mindful of our fluid intake.
