House Staff Vs Student Volleyball Competition
At the end of term 1, the COLA was full of excitement for the House Staff vs Student Volleyball Match. The game was close from the start, with the first set ending in a tie. Both teams battled hard with each of them claiming two sets, but in the end it was the students who came out with the win, with a final score of 45-42.
A big thank you to all the students who played and cheered on their peers and staff members, our staff team for their effort and to the PE staff for keeping everything running smoothly.
We look forward to many more House events this year.
