Sports Day

Sports Day will be this Friday (13th July) from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m., but unfortunately will not be at Shaw Lane as planned because of the recent wet weather.

Instead, we will be holding the event on split sites, with Primary pupils competing in their House teams in the Sports Hall at school and Senior pupils competing in their House teams in the YMCA across the road. Points from each activity will be added up and the Christina Mulder Sports Day Trophy will be awarded to the winning team (House) at the end of the day. We will also be presenting the House Shield to the winning House at the end of the day.

Because of the change of venue, parents will not be able to attend (neither venue is large enough to accommodate parents as spectators.) We apologise for any inconvenience caused by this change of plan and hope that parents will understand the constraints placed on us by the unfortunate weather.

The schedule for the day is:

10 a.m. - 12 noon
Fun games

12 noon - 1 p.m.
Lunch (all pupils will eat lunch in school whilst completing 'A Question of Sport' quiz, for which house points will also be awarded.) Pupils need to bring their usual packed lunch as well.

FBCS will be providing free ice-creams for all pupils at lunchtime. There is no need for pupils to bring any money for this.

1.00 - 1.45 p.m.
House teams compete in a Penalty Shoot-Out competition

1.50 -2.35 p.m.
Rounders

2.40 p.m.
Senior pupils will return to school where there will be an awards ceremony for the presentation of the Christina Mulder Sports Day Trophy and the House Shield.

Sports Day will finish at 3 p.m. and parents will be able to pick up their children from school at 3 p.m. on that day. Please note that Primary pupils will be supervised until 3.30 p.m. if parents are unable to collect children earlier and that Senior pupils will be allowed out of school at 3 p.m. if they are not being collected.
