Athletics Day 2025
On 20 February 2025, the school community gathered at Porritt Stadium for its annual Athletics Day, an event that showcased the skill, perseverance, and determination of our students. Despite the heat, competitors pushed themselves across a variety of track and field events, racing for top placements and valuable points for their Houses.
