Sports Day 2023

On Wednesday 14^th June our PE department held our annual sports day. The sun was shining as we were blessed with some fantastic weather and clear blue skies for the occasion. Students in Years 8-11 took to the pitches to participate in a series of heats in track and field events. It was a wonderful day with strong participation across the school despite the uncharacteristically warm temperatures. Pupils participated and ran with enthusiasm, commitment and desire which are three very important life skills which our PE department teach to our pupils all year!

Students were also treated to a delicious BBQ thanks to Chef Hines and Chef Newnham!! Thank goodness the ice cream van was there for the perfect cool down refreshment after the racing. It really was a wonderful way to finish off what has been a busy year of sport in school.

Thank you to all who help to make the event a huge success and congratulations to all our student and staff competitors!! 

Head of PE Mr Watson was delighted with the day:

‘Sports Day 2023 show-cased the best that Laurelhill has to offer. Not only were our fantastic outdoor facilities bathed in sunshine from start to finish, but all pupils were a credit to themselves and to the College. Races and field events were hard fought with determination and competitive spirit on show throughout and several school records broken. Well done to all of the pupils who participated and congratulations to the winners of the following events listed below.’
