ATHLETICS
It was no surprise that the athletics term was action-packed , and with the growing popularity of the sport , we witnessed some extraordinary achievements both on and off the track .
Athletics could appear to be a daunting choice , but our numbers are booming and this is a consequence of the many attributes it can help develop both physically and mentally . These range from the
determination and solidarity developed by the teams qualifying for the ESAA T & F Cup regional finals to the excitement felt by students picking up a javelin for the first time .
The experiences and opportunities provided throughout the term have challenged our students and we are proud of their achievements , many of which are detailed here .
