INTREPIDUS MAGAZINE - SUMMER 2019

On Friday 12 th July our Year 7, 8, 9, 10 and
12 headed to the Linford Christie Stadium
for our fifth annual Sports Day house
competition.
With 20,000 house points up for grabs, Sports Day
always proves a key point in the final push for the
house cup. With every student signed up for a
least one event, it was an action packed day with
track events ranging from the newly added 60m
sprint to the 800m race, and field events including
tug of war, javelin and high jump.
As always our staff were not afraid to show the
Intrepidus spirit and get stuck in to the staff events.
Pankhurst staff came off victorious against Franklin
in the staff tug of war and students were gripped
by the last leg of the staff relay which saw a photo
finish between Mr Campbell (Franklin) and Mr
Cyrus (Angelou) - with Franklin just snatching the
victory.
The students displayed fantastic resilience and
Intrepidus, with a huge number of new school
records set (all listed opposite). Special mention to
Jayden (10 Lennon), who broke numerous Year 10
records!
Students are awarded a medal for first, second or
third place, and points are accumulated for all
participation from 10 for a win to 1 for 8th place.
Students competed well, but the other houses
couldn’t prevent Franklin from stealing a third
consecutive Sports Day win with 8,310 points -
securing them the 20,000 house points! Honeyball
took second place with 7,610 points, earning them
15,000 house points. Angelou came in just behind
Honeyball with 7,470 points. Pankhurst came
fourth with 6,870 points.
Well done to all students (and staff) who took part
and our huge thanks to the PE department for
organising the day.
