Sports Day

Well done to all those that participated so fantastically during our annual Sports Days. There were a total of 20 individual events for students to score points on, including the traditional athletics events such as 100m, javelin and shot put, but also other events such as Beat the Goalie, Netball/Basketball Shoot and various fitness tests. Kurling, Archery and Ten Pin Bowling also made an appearance this year for the first time too! Then, Friday afternoon, also known as Finals Afternoon, saw the whole school out on the field watching the final of the House Tug of War competition, in addition to witnessing the fastest students in the school competing in some highly competitive racing for 100m, 200m and 800m. We then concluded with a hotly contested staff relay race! Well done to all race winners and participants.
