A resounding success last year, we are eagerly awaiting the 2020 version of this very popular event.

Shani and the Top Team team arrive early on Tuesday morning (17th) to set up for a day of fun activities, and a chance for students to develop their teamwork and co-operative skills.

There are 3 sessions throughout the day: 9:00am, 11:00am and 1:00pm.

Each session lasts about 1 and 1/2 hours and includes activities such as a mixture of water activities, mazes, sacks and ski races just to name a few.
