Sports Day 2014 - Tuesday, 6th May - dawned to a sunny morning with lots of white clouds high in the sky. With just a few showers forecast for the afternoon, the weather was perfect for all the activities organised by Ms. Finnegan. Sports Day kicked off at 11:15am with Basketball and Football, while there was ongoing amusement with the Sumo Suits and the blow-up Obstacle Course. The Three-Legged race finished off the morning's activities. After lunch, sprints, tug-of-war and more basketball and football matches were held. It was a very chilled day with musical entertainment provided by the the 5th Year students. Well done to Ms. Finnegan and to all the students who help her make it a great day!
