Posted on: 16/01/2020Charity Staff V Student BenchballTo help raise money for the homeless charity Crisis the PE department held a staff vs students benchball tournament. The tournament was very competitive with neither staff or students wanting to lose. However, despite students’ best efforts the staff remained undefeated throughout the tournament, although the games against Year 11 came very close to a student win. A huge thank you to everyone that came to participate, we were able to raise a total of £165. All money will now be sent to Crisis to help support the homeless.
