Senior School learners look forward to Friday afternoons. It’s not just because the weekend is on its way … it’s because after a busy learning week, there is an opportunity to get outside and enjoy some sport.
On fine Friday afternoons, mixed groups from across all year five and six classes get to play alongside their friends and make new acquaintances from other classes. Earlier in Term 3, learners were able to select their top three choices from a list of different sports: football for boys/girls, table tennis, rounders/softball, tennis, netball, jump jam, rugby and scooter games.
Playing your favourite sport or giving an unfamiliar one a go is a big part of the afternoon. From the top of the Alan McIntyre Centre all the way to the Howick Domain, ample space is provided for each group. This feast of sporting fun means that learners are sent off home, having worked hard and played hard, to enjoy their well-deserved weekend.
