School Games Afternoons
Co-Curricular
Years 7-9
Year 7-9 participate in the Core Sports (Rugby, Hockey, Netball and Cricket) for the duration of each term for their Games afternoons. We are very lucky to health a wealth of coaches with excellent knowledge and expertise in each of our Core sport areas. Students will enjoy a number of training sessions as well as fixtures during their Games afternoons.
Years 10-11
Year 10 and 11 have their games afternoon on Tuesday, periods 8-10. Each term, students will either take part in the core sport or on a rotation of other activities. Those that participate in the core sport are expected to take part in school fixtures. Students that are on a rotation of activities will change every 4 weeks this term.
Seniors
Seniors have their games afternoon on Wednesday, periods 8-10. Those that are not playing in the core sports get to opt for their chosen activity. Rotation of activities will happen each half term to allow students opportunity to try different activities.
