PE Teacher Rowan Turner said: “All our students performed well and were great sporting ambassadors for the school. They demonstrated strength and resilience and are to be congratulated for their efforts.

“A special mention must be given to Huw Hand and Tomas Hand, to Sera Senaratne and Thijs Boogaard, and to the U9 boys team of Thiys, Joshua, Ayden, Karson and Neil.

“Thank you to all the parents for their support in the run up to the event and during the day.”
