The Oratory hosts first overseas Girls' Hockey Tour

The Oratory was delighted to host its first overseas girls’ hockey touring side on Thursday 4 September, with over 60 pupils and staff joining the school from Michael Ham Colegio in Argentina.

The day began with a tour of the school, highlights including a visit to the new all-weather pitch, real tennis court, Sports Centre and St Joseph’s Chapel. A delicious lunch of cajun turkey tacos and sizzling bean fajitas followed by Eton Mess was thoroughly enjoyed before some excellent hockey fixtures against the 1st XI and 2nd XI teams. A great afternoon was had by all.

Matthew Fogg, Head Master, says “It was wonderful to welcome the girls from Michael Ham to The Oratory School. Alongside two entertaining hockey games, it was such a pleasure to see the two groups of girls chatting about their shared interests and life at the two schools. It really was a great example of "heart speaking to heart". We look forward to exploring ways to strengthen the links between our schools and celebrating our shared commitment to educating the whole person within our Catholic tradition.”
