TY Trip to Delphi, 7th - 10th September 2015

The TY students went to Delphi in early September where they were able to enjoy it to the utmost because of the beautiful weather.  The TY students did lots of different activities - including canoeing, surfing and climbing - and according to Ms. Finnegan really pushed themselves to do things they normally wouldn't attempt. Thanks to Ms. Finnegan for organising the trip and to Ms. Bennet and Mr. Smith who helped out too. See also the TY blog.

Sports Day, 7th May 2015

This year's Sports Day - Thursday, 7th May - was a gloriously sunny day, which slotted between days of torrential rain. Everyone was delighted, none more so than Ms. Finnegan and her group of helpers. The Sports Day timetable and teams were posted a week in advance, so that everyone knew what they had to do on the day. What a busy day for all concerned - Junior and Senior Basketball, Junior and Senior Soccer, 3-legged races for all years, Junior and Senior Sprints, Junior and Senior Tug-of-War, as well as the obstacle course and the sumo wrestling. Thank you very much Ms. Finnegan for a fantastic sporting day! Go to the Sports blog for more sporting activities.
