Midweek Madness: Lunchtime Sports with Peer Mentors and Year 7!
Many in Year 7 were ready to add some adrenaline to their midweek routines, enthusiastically joining their House Peer Mentors every Wednesday during lunchtime for a sports extravaganza.
From epic football showdowns, perfectly timed with the Women’s World Cup, to fierce basketball battles, Midweek Madness provided the ideal platform to flaunt their athletic prowess and enjoy the company of friends. It didn’t matter if you were a seasoned sports pro or just seeking some light-hearted fun—there was something for everyone in the friendly House competitions held during lunchtimes.
What made it even better was that Midweek Madness wasn’t solely about the competition; it offered a fantastic opportunity to strengthen the bonds within their Houses, guided by our fantastic Peer Mentors. Students eagerly gathered in the Sports Hall, each bringing their A-game, thereby making Midweek Madness a standout highlight of the week.
During the football rounds, the Grand Finalists were Beck and Langley, and it was Beck who ultimately clinched the coveted trophy. In the basketball rounds, Beck once again faced off against Badham, and yet again, they emerged as the victorious team.
Thank you to all who contributed House spirit, humour, skill, sportsmanship, and fun to Wednesday lunchtimes throughout Term 3 and Term 4. Their passion and energy transformed Midweek Madness into an enjoyable addition to the school timetable.
