It’s been a busy and exciting start to 2025, with a variety of fun competitions and challenges keeping students engaged across all year levels. From card games to sports and trivia, there has been something for everyone, and the competition has been fierce!

UNO

The UNO competition, which ran from Week 3 to Week 6, saw some intense rounds and plenty of “Draw Four” drama. Bailey Kent (Year 12) and Zac Hearfield (Year 8) were a couple of our standout players this year.

Handball

Our annual Handball competition continues to be a huge success. Students from all year groups showcased their competitive spirit, with some high-energy matches full of skill and strategy. Ultimately, it was Mason Hopely (Year 12) who claimed victory, earning the title of Handball champion for 2025.

Pickleball

Week 7 saw the start of the highly anticipated Pickleball competition. Students have thoroughly enjoyed trying their hand at a rapidly growing, fast-paced sport. The energy has been infectious, and it has been great to see so many students getting involved. Who will come out on top?

Taco, Cat, Goat, Cheese, Pizza

TCGCP has been a great way for students to unwind and have some laughs with friends. This hilarious game has quickly become a favourite among students during break times. The rules are simple, but the speed and quick reflexes required make it a game of constant surprises. We can’t wait to see how the rest of the competition unfolds.

Unlock the Box

Unlock the Box is back for a second year! Students have been working together in their LEA classes to solve trivia-style questions for a chance to unlock the coveted prize box at the end of term. Topics have ranged from fun facts about teachers to Pokémon knowledge and even flags of the world. It is a great way for students to get to know their peers and LEA teacher while enjoying a little friendly competition.

Multi-Sport Cup

The Multi-Sport Cup has also taken off with a bang! Students have been competing against each other in their LEA classes in various challenges like sit-down volleyball and dodgeball. The competition will continue throughout the year, with the winning LEA class in each year group earning the prestigious title of LEA Multi-Sport Cup champions and a well-deserved pizza lunch.

As always, these competitions and challenges provide a fantastic way to build school spirit, make new friends, and enjoy some healthy competition. I am looking forward to seeing how the rest of the term unfolds!
