Congratulations to the yellow team for their narrow win over the orange team as they clinch yet another Elemore accolade with their back-to-back victories on Challenge Day and now Sports Day!

4x 200 Meter Relay
The final event of Sports Day this year was the 4×200 Meter Relay. In this, the fastest pupils from each team competed to earn extra points to go toward their final scores.
Each team had four participants who passed the baton to the next teammate after every 200 meters ran. By far this was the most anticipated and physically strenuous event of the day and all involved put forward truly outstanding performances. Congratulations to the Orange team for winning first place and everyone else involved putting it all on the line for their teams!

Howler Throw
Mr. Richardson and Mrs. Arkless organised the Howler-throw. In this event, pupils displayed a multitude of skills in order to throw the howler as far as possible. From form to throw, pupils used trial and error to devise the most optimal technique for this event. Many pupils described it as the most fun event due to its replayability!

Triple Jump
Mr Peat and Ms. Griffiths helped pupils showcase their balance and coordination in the triple jump. This was without a doubt the most technically difficult task throughout sports day and couldn’t have worked out nearly as well as it did without the outstanding resilience of all pupils involved alongside the expert guidance of staff organisers. Well done everyone!

Sports day 2024 was perhaps the best in recent memory. Students from across the school demonstrated their ability and commitment through a range of activities. The events were; 100m, 200m, howler throw, shot put, long jump and culminating in a 4 x 100m relay race. All of the teams put in phenomenal effort and put in big scores across the events. However, there could only be one winner and Lime (Green) took the day by a narrow margin. It was a big win in the relay that took them over the line.
Special mentions were given to several students who demonstrated outstanding commitment and attainment. Tyler Sowerby (10X) was excellent in the throwing events. Hayden Storey (7X) and Dominic Scoones (7Y) were exceptional throughout the day and especially helping Lime to romp to victory in the relay. Mason Stannard (7Y) impressed for his welcome and kindness to transitioning year 6 students who joined in for the morning.
An extra special thanks goes out to all the staff and visitors who helped put on this event, including the grounds keepers who worked tirelessly to prepare the venue, to our own resident DJ Mr. Hird, whose enthusiasm elevated enjoyment for everyone this Sports Day.
