EARLY YEARS SPORTS AND OPEN MORNING
LOWER SCHOOL SPORTS DAYS
The eld at Gallery Road was lled with happy families and smiling faces as the children marched out to begin a morning of races in perfect weather. All the children had a wonderful time and they hugely enjoyed their families joining in the races. After the fun, we welcomed many new parents and children who will join us in September.
Look in any direction on Lower School Sports Day and you will see boys smiling.They will also be busy running, jumping, swerving and heaving as each boy takes his turn in each of the six events on the programme.The boys work in relay teams to win points for their Tribe and, when not actually participating in a race, the boys use up any remaining energy to shout encouragement to others – helped along by supportive family and friends.The result? Chippeways were crowned champions in both theYears 3 and 4 competitions.
PRE-PREP SPORTS DAY
The Pre-Prep Sports Day was lled with excitement as the boys competed to win glory for theirTribes.The boys took part in races such as the bucket and beanbag, hoop, ball/beanbag on racket and, of course, the challenging obstacle race starting on a space hopper and nishing
in a sack!The boys cheered themselves hoarse for their Tribe and their classmates, and the team spirit was exceptional.The Ojibwas were victorious on the day
and all the boys displayed excellent sportsmanship.
MIDDLE AND UPPER
SCHOOL TRIBE SPORTS
In a urry of colour and excitement
the boys paraded down to the sun-
drenched Mary Datchelor eld for the nalTribe sporting event of the year -
Tribe Athletics. Alongside the raucous
support for their fellowTribesmen
there was an abundance of athletic
talent on show; be it a lightning fast
relay team or monstrous tug-of-war
heave, the enjoyment was clear to see
on the faces of participants and
spectators alike. Challenges were faced head-on with steely determination and conquered with aplomb as Ojibwas
took the spoils for Year 5, and Deerfeet cantered to a clean sweep of Years 6, 7 and 8.
