Active Day

18th Jun 2025

What a day! Our Active Day was a huge hit, filled with laughter, teamwork, and plenty of water-soaked fun! Held on June 18th, the whole school came together for a day of energetic challenges and unforgettable moments in the summer sun.

💪 Morning Team Activities
We kicked off the day with a series of team-based activities that got everyone moving and working together. From novelty relay races to toss the beanbag, hidden ball games to the jenga snake challenge, each activity encouraged team spirit with bonus points on offer for encouraging one another and celebrating each other’s efforts.

💦 Afternoon Water Games
As the day heated up, so did the excitement... and the water games! The afternoon was all about getting wet!  Water balloons, sponge relays and water skipping had everyone laughing—and soaked!

Duck, Duck, Goose... with a twist! Who knew that a classic game could get even better when the “goose” taps with a soaking wet sponge? Giggles echoed as everyone got splashed!

Undoubtedly the most anticipated event of the day was the 'students versus teachers showdown'. With the clock set the junior room followed by the senior room had an opportunity to get the water pistols and do their worst!  Everyone dashed around, dripping and delighted!  A day to remember for all!
