An excellent game was played by our Mini basket ball team against Hiram Bingham in the Sports Centre, where our victory meant we obtained second place in the ADCA championship, having lost only one game in the whole competition.

We must point out, that it was an 11-12 age group competition, and some of our team members were 10 years old, giving even more merit to this excellent result. Thank you girls for all your effort and dedication as well as to your coach John Cruzati. Likewise, to all the parents who supported them during the competition.

Congratulations.

On Saturday the 13th November the Lower school Sports Day took place in an atmosphere of happiness and participation, where the bright  colours of the games and the massive participation of the pupils was the outstanding  feature.

The theme was health and the slogan was “ I am fit, I am well and you?”. The idea was that by participating the pupils could learn the importance of living a healthy life by  exercising regularly and by eating healthy food.

Nicolás Pacheco who excels at skeet  shooting  was in charge of this year’s inauguration. Nicolás has been a regular participant at international level for quite a time now, achieving excellent results for several years  in Continental Cups, South American Championships, Ibero-American Championships and Bolivarian Games in the Junior age group. This year  he came in 5th place in the All Arms World Championship in the Adults age group!

This year’s Sports Day winner was Windsor,  followed by Lancaster , Tudor  and then York in 4th place.  As in every Lower School Sports Day, we finished with the much anticipated parent’s Tug of War, won this year by a very strong  Tudor team.

The Juniors and Intermediate boys and girls ADCA Athletic Competition came to an end. Our results helped to keep us amongst the best schools in our Association by winning in the Intermediate Girls age group, finishing second place in Juniors and Intermediate boys and fourth place in Junior girls. In doing this we bettered our school team results from the last two years. We also won five gold medals, five silver medals and ten bronze medals. We would like to congratulate all of our team members for their great efforts and especially our Intermediate girls team. We would also like thank Diego Gorriti for all his work with the track and field team.

Winning a competition means to finish in first place, however, maintaining first place and being undefeated from the first round all the way to the final, means a lot of effort and dedication in each one of the games played. This is precisely what our juvenile boys basket ball team achieved. Together with their coach José Basile, they were the undefeated ADCA Champions 2010. Thank you for giving us the great happiness of being the champions and thanks also to your parents for their support in each game. Congratulations and keep it up.

It is worth pointing out that results do not always show the effort and sacrifice that our students have demonstrated in the different competitions where they have represented us. This is certainly true in the case of our junior ADCA football team who played without 5 of their best players due to illness and even so managed to come in third place from 11 participants. They showed effort, dedication and gave the best they could. Congratulations boys, for all your effort in defending the colours of your Alma Mater.

During September 23rd and 24th, more than 80 of our students between boys and girls, represented us in the Athletics Juveniles and Seniors ADCA Competition, 2010. Our students during these two days showed good will to overcome difficulties and desire to achieve first places. Proof of this is our student Paolo Petrozzi from Form VI finally embraced his long will dream of obtaining the gold medal in the javelin throw, which make him finally, very happy. Like him, we have several students who achieved excellent results allowing us to obtain the second place in the boys juveniles and seniors over all results and the third place in the juveniles and senior girls. Congratulations to each one of our students who represented us and ask them to continue training for the competitions to come.

Once more the CEIE School from Uruguay visited Newton but this time, with a bigger delegation of 66 people including students and parents. As was the case last year, they were hosted by our students and their families who showed our visitors both friendship and family love. This time the students from CEIE School participated with our students in handball, football and in a swimming festival , where Markham College (Lower school) participated as a guest. We must point out also that Markham College and San José de Monterrico School invited the CEIE School to participate with them in handball and football as well. Apart from participating in sports activities they also went on various tours to Lima and to the Parque de las Leyendas on their way to the airport. The parents who accompanied the Uruguay delegation, played a football match with our school parents and have left an open invitation for a return game in the Centenario Stadium in Montevideo, Uruguay.

It really was a fraternal week, sharing day to day moments, going from one place to another and very special for Andres Dominguez who was the mentor of this beautiful exchange of brotherhood between both schools. Many thanks to our students for their excellent behaviour as friendship ambassadors, to their parents for their wonderful support and our authorities for trusting us.

Our girl’s volley ball team, made up of a mixture of juniors and juveniles again finished in first place in the ADCA Volley ball competition 2010.

As happened last year, our girls finished undefeated in the final round of matches, losing only one game in the preliminary round.

The members of the team are: Kiara Arce and Raissa Amuruz both 10 years old, Roxana Carpio 12 years old, Pierina Gálvez and Romina Calderón 13 years old, Olenka Ljubicic and Camila Castillo 14 years old and Carole Munive and Nicole Salazar 15 years old. Their coach is Johnny Westreicher.
All of them, despite their age differences, made a solid team which beat the other participants to become champions.

Congratulations to all the members of the team and a special thanks to the parents for their constant support during all the games.

Our boy’s juvenile basket ball team won all their games in the Casuarinas Basketball Cup Tournament and obtained first place.

We must point out that our students showed great courage and “love for their shirts” in every game and in doing so, won every game with enthusiasm and commitment.

Congratulations to all of you and keep up the good work. Continue to train hard and use your free time in a productive way. We would also like to thank their coach José Basile for the good results achieved.

On Saturday the 21st August, the finals of the National Rugby Championship in the Intermediate and Senior Categories took place on the Universidad Católica campus. In the Intermediate team Jean Pierre Dugand, Leonardo Makino, Diego Choy, Javier Casas, Daniel López and Matthías Eslavaand and the rest of the team performed magnificently and came in first place after beating Universidad Católica 44 points to 5. Likewise, in the Senior Category the Flaming Lions team, where the following ex-pupils play, Sergio Castro, Daniel Cino, Francisco Deustua, Jorge Ugaz, Gianfranco Barreto, Federico Cúneo, Mauro Gelmi, Rodrigo Calderón, Angel Martín (coach) with our teacher and coach Arturo Espínola, defeated our eternal rivals Markham College with a result of 15 points to 10. We must point out that both games displayed a lot of healthy rivalry and enthusiasm, and the spectators thoroughly enjoyed two excellent games.

Our congratulations to both teams for their excellent results and especially to our pupils and ex-pupils. Likewise, to all the parents who gave their enthusiastic support in each game.

“My participation in this competition has been one of the most important experiences in my life due to the fact that it only takes place every four years and the best shooters in the world participate. In this competition, 105 countries participated with more than 5,000 shooters. I am very happy because I broke my personal record in international competitions by successfully breaking 125 plates, just one plate behind the bronze medal winner, 2 plates behind the silver medal winner and three plates behind the gold medal winner! That’s why I think that with more effort I can do even better in the future. I thank my family, my school and my federation for their support.”

Last week, from July 5th to the 11th the Lima 2010 American Continental Shooting Cup took place where 8 countries participated. Nicolás won the Skeet in the Juniors age group category. He also participated in the Senior category obtaining the silver medal in skeet too.
“This competition was a very important one in my sport career since I have improve in my concentration which allows me to break 25 plates from 25 in two rounds of five; this is a very important progress in this sport. I will keep on working hard and train with much more effort and dedication because on the first week of August I will represent Peru in the All Guns World Championship which takes place every four years, this year will be in Munich, Germany. I hope I do well. I thank my teachers and my school for their support.”

Nicolás Pacheco - Form IV

This year we  celebrated  the 20th Newton Cup with joy and enthusiasm. On this occasion, as in previous years, we were accompanied by Markham College, Inmaculado Corazón, Cambridge and others.

Our students competed for their “Alma Mater” with great team spirit and enthusiasm from first grade up to Form III, obtaining first place in the categories 96/97 and 94/95 and second place in categories  2002, 2000 and ’98.

40 football teams participated representing different schools, all divided into eight  age groups. One could observe  a lot of Fair Play, sportsmanship and why not say it, very good organization during the five Saturdays that the Newton Cup took place.

For all the above mention, we wish to congratulate all our students involved in the different teams, as well as to thank all the parents who came with their child every saturday,  the maintenance department for their wonderful  support,  the medic department,  the security department and specially all the coaches who make this 20th anniversary Newton Cup a very successful one.

And as one of the coaches from another school said: “Newton Cup is my favorite tournament of the year, because is filled with amusement and human warmth.”

On Saturday the 26th June the “ First  Newton College Swimming Festival” took place in our swimming pool.  Around 78 swimmers participated in two age groups from 9-10 and 11-12 with both  girls and boys swimming  four strokes over a distance of 25m.

We would like to thank the swimmers from Colegio  Reina de los Angeles  as well as the ones from La Union that took part in this festival. Also,  our students for their excellent participation in each one of their races and for the excellent discipline and sportsmanship shown throughout the day.

Mi name is Patricia Molina and I participated in the Metropolitan Juvenile Athletic Championship in 3000m. race. I came in first place thanks to my training and dedication. I hope I can keep up with this and I will continue my preparation for ADCA competitions.

Our Juvenile Girls` Volleyball team participated in the ADCA Competition and came second. They showed great team spirit at all times, fighting for every single point during the tournament. They did their very best to come in first place but unfortunately it wasn’t to be. We would like to thank the girls and their coach Johnny Westreicher for all their efforts.

Congratulations to the team for the excellent result and to the parents who accompanied the girls during the tournament.

On May 8th, the XVII International Swimming Competition organized by the Club AELU took place. I won two gold medals: one in 50 mts. freestlye and one in 50 mts. breast stroke in the Infantil A – First year category. This day I felt very happy and proud of myself. Now, with the results of this competition, I know that with my effort I am going to be better in swimming.

After several years absence, this year we re-initiated our participation in the ADCA swimming competition  obtaining a gold medal, two silver and three bronze.

We would like to mention the excellent participation of Carolina Reúl, Kelly Chunga, Gabriela Cerrate, Arantxa Romero and Pierina Camarena, as well as Florian Albrecht, Renzo Piedra, Rafael Arévalo-Francis and Jorge Luis Lazo.

Our team is a new one with great potential.  From this year we will be training all the year round and participating in different competitions so that our swimmers will have the necessary experience to be able to compete better each time in official tournaments.

We would like to invite all students who know how to swim and who would like to take part in the school swimming team, to stay behind  two days a week from Tuesday to Friday after school. (11 and under on Wednesdays and Fridays  and 12 and over on Tuesdays and Thursdays).

We wish to thank all the parents who accompanied the swimmers during their preparation for the ADCA competition and invite them to continue with their support for the rest of the year. Also, we would like to thank the coaches Robert Sánchez and Miss Margarita Conroy for the excellent job they are doing with our swimming team.

The aim of  Sport Festivals involving others schools is that teams that practice after school hours have the opportunity to participate in the process of preparation with other  teams.

So far we have participated with Lincoln, San Jorge and San José de Monterrico in football and basket ball.

It’s our wish to continue with these types of activities for the rest of the year as it gives our students the opportunity to participate in their respective sports, as well as prepare for official tournaments.

She was upset about her performance in the last Juegos Odesur and the Metropolitan Games were a good opportunity to demonstrate what she is capable of. Gabriela Saravia broke her own personal record of 1.73 mts, broke the national record of 1.74 mts and established a new one at 1.78 mts.
Gabriela has fond memories of her school and she sent an e-mail to her teachers with the good news:

Dear teachers,
I am very happy to share with you my latest achievement. You have been there throughout my school years and to me you are family. I miss being at Newton and close to that united family that the school is. I feel that my achievements are yours as well, whether in sports or academic. I always had your support and love and I have you with me in every competition.
Yesterday I was able to accomplish one of my biggest goals so far: breaking the national record and earning a place in the history of Peruvian athletics. It was with great effort and hard work under the direction of Mr. Diego Gorriti that I was able to jump 1.78 mts and thus classify to the Iberoamerican Athletics Championship which will be held in Spain on June. I am very happy to dedicate this achievement to my alma mater.
Here is a short video of the competition and new record.

A big hug to everybody,

Gabriela Saravia

Entre el 20 y el 28 de febrero, Nicolás Pacheco de Form IV participó en el Campeonato Iberoamericano de Tiro que se llevó a cabo en Guatemala y en el que participaron equipos de toda América Central, Sudamérica, México, España y Portugal. Nicolás obtuvo la medalla de oro en la categoría junior, la medalla de plata por equipos en la categoría adultos y además batió el récord de la cancha, rompiendo 117 de 125 platos.
Él nos cuenta: "He participado en una de las competencias más importantes de mi carrera deportiva, ya que las condiciones de la cancha eran muy difíciles debido a que estaba ubicada en un abismo con mucho viento y los platillos tenían una trayectoria muy variada.

También había mucha competividad debido a que habían tiradores de muchos países. En esta competencia rompí 117 platos de 125, rompiendo el récord de la cancha. Además, formé parte del equipo de adultos de Skeet Olímpico y colaboré con mi puntaje para que el Perú obtenga la medalla de plata por equipos, lo cual es un orgullo para mí."
