The day began with a vibrant House parade, as pupils proudly displayed their banners and marched to their chosen music, setting an energetic tone for the competition ahead. Events then commenced, with Years 9 and 10 taking to the track, while Years 7 and 8 showcased their skill and determination in a range of field events.

Bathed in sunshine, the day provided a wonderful opportunity for every pupil to get involved, whether competing, officiating or supporting their peers. Throughout, students demonstrated excellent teamwork, resilience, and a strong sense of House pride.

he afternoon brought further excitement, including the introduction of new events such as the endurance relay, which proved both challenging and highly popular. The ever-entertaining parent dash also drew plenty of laughter and enthusiastic support.

In a memorable moment, after ten years of near misses, the staff team finally triumphed in the much-anticipated parent versus staff tug of war, much to the delight of the pupils.

Congratulations to all who took part, and particularly to Oaks, who were crowned overall winners, a fitting end to a truly outstanding day.
