Ultimate Dodgeball Tournament<br />
Back in July, 45 Year 7 & 8 students from Devizes<br />
School battled it out in an ‘Ultimate Dodgeball’<br />
Tournament for the British Heart Foundation (BHF).<br />
The initiative organised by the BHF, aims to<br />
promote the importance of maintaining a healthy<br />
heart through regular exercise whilst raising vital<br />
funds for its fight for every heartbeat. The<br />
sponsored knock out tournament saw duck, dive<br />
and dodge in the fast paced game, showcasing the<br />
skills they have been working on over the past few<br />
weeks.<br />
Head of PE & Health Faculty, Mr Lund said “We<br />
loved hosting the Ultimate Dodgeball Tournament.<br />
Over the past few weeks the students have been<br />
working really hard securing sponsorship to take<br />
part in the event and between them have raised<br />
over £840. Ultimate Dodgeball has proved to be a<br />
fantastic and fun way to get children active as well<br />
as help BHF to raise vital funds to support its life<br />
saving research into coronary heart disease, the<br />
UK’s single biggest killer”.<br />
Tens of thousands children take part in the Ultimate<br />
Dodgeball tournament initiative each year. It raises<br />
money to not only support the vital work of the BHF.<br />
Mr O Clements - PE Assistant<br />
International Rugby trip to<br />
Kingsholm Stadium, Gloucester<br />
On Saturday 5th September Mr Lund, Mr Herring,<br />
Mr Clements & ex-student Amie Hayden-Smith took<br />
30 students to the Kingsholm Rugby Stadium in<br />
Gloucester to watch an international match between<br />
Japan & Georgia.<br />
It was a brilliant day with the students enjoying lots<br />
of new experiences. On arrival we were shown into<br />
the chairman’s hospitality suite where we given the<br />
opportunity to watch the England V Ireland Rugby<br />
World Cup warm up match. After that we were<br />
taken down onto the pitch to complete a parade<br />
around the pitch where we were clapped by all the<br />
supporters. It was then time for the match to start so<br />
we formed a guard of honour as the players ran<br />
onto the pitch which was very exciting. We then<br />
settled down into our excellent seats and enjoyed<br />
the game which Japan won by just a few points in<br />
the last minute with a<br />
great try!<br />
As the players left the<br />
pitch we stayed behind<br />
for photos and to say<br />
hello to the players. We<br />
then made our way<br />
back to Devizes.<br />
All in all it was a great<br />
experience which we<br />
will remember for many<br />
years and we wish<br />
Japan and Georgia all<br />
the best in the upcoming Rugby World Cup (but not<br />
against England)!<br />
