Year 7 Sport

This year, Year 7 students will be partaking in sports activities once a fortnight on Tuesday afternoons (periods 3, 4 and 5). These activities will require the students to catch a bus from school to different venues throughout the year. You can see these venues in detail below. They have been carefully selected by the Sports Organiser, Mr Abernethy, as venues which will engage your child and help in developing their fundamental movement skill and fitness, as well as providing enjoyment. Year 7 students will wear their sport uniform to school on their designated sport day.
