This event was arranged by staff from the PE department at Shireland Collegiate Academy, the event itself took place at Hadley Stadium on Wednesday 18th June. There were 5 other local schools that took part in the competition. Thankfully, the weather held up for both parts of the day.
You could definitely see that some of our athletes were quite adept at their discipline all of the children participated well and represented our school with pride. A good time was had by all and especially for those children who finished first in their field events.
Children took part in the javelin throw, shot put, bowling, speed bounce, obstacle course, 60 and 100 metres sprints, 300 metres and the relay races.
All of our children were thrilled to be there but not so happy with the position we finished in! That being said, everyone made the most of the day and rode the waves of the high and low moments with equal gusto and enthusiasm! Our final position was 6th overall, however, it has been said that VPA will return next year – stronger and more determined!
