The wait is almost over – Secondary Sports Day is here!<\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

After a frantic half term where secondary students have been getting reacquainted with the multitude of skills needed to perform different athletic events, whilst also examining what it means to challenge themselves either in trying new events or pushing their limits in physical fitness workouts<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"Over the course of the week students have already completed some of the first Sports Day events during their PE lessons. We have witnessed some extremely competitive and tense high jump events where the atmosphere in the hall has been positively palpable. Students have been heard cheering for their friends and House mates successes and groaned in agony when the bar has fallen.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the Javelin events we were fortunate to already see <\/span>TWO <\/b>records broken! Henry Hutchinson and Eshaana Kaur, both members of the Sulug Sharks, succeeded in breaking the records for\u00a0 the Year 7 and Year 8 Boys and Girls Javelin events. Well done to both and I am sure they will not be the last records we see go at this years Sports Day. Breaking a school record brings with it the added benefit of winning 3 extra house points for the the team total, We will have to wait until Wednesday as we find out just how vital those bonus points may be to determining who\u00a0 lifts the trophy!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
