Let the Games Begin at Salesian!
What a high-intensity showdown we hosted this morning at Salesian for our Mini Olympics! The arena was buzzing as Year 6 athletes from St. Anne’s, St. Cuthbert’s, and Cardinal Newman stepped up to compete, bringing energy, grit, and serious team spirit from the first whistle.
We kicked things off with explosive sprint races, setting the pace for a morning packed with competition. From there, teams powered through a circuit of seven action-packed challenges — pushing limits in high jump and long jump, showing lightning footwork in hula hoop speed drills, dialling in precision with co****le throws, testing reactions with wall ball challenges, and working tactically to conquer a live Tetris puzzle under pressure.
To close out the event, all competitors took to the court for a fast-paced, all-out dodgeball clash — a thrilling finale that had everyone on their toes and roaring with excitement!
Champions of the day: Cardinal Newman Primary School, who battled hard and earned the top spot on the podium!
But beyond the leader board, every single student delivered — showing resilience, teamwork, and determination throughout.
A huge shoutout to the coaching team behind the scenes — our dedicated teachers, supportive parents, and outstanding Sixth Form leaders — who made this event run perfectly.
