Pokémon Club Thrives with New Faces, Familiar Champions and of course Professor Princehorn!

This year has seen a surge in numbers for the Pokémon extracurricular group, with many enthusiastic new faces joining the ranks. A highlight has been the continued dedication from players who began their Pokémon journey in Year 7 and are now going strong in Year 8. Their commitment and passion have helped foster a fun and welcoming community where both newcomers and seasoned trainers can battle, trade, and share their love for the game. The Pokémon spirit lives on, stronger than ever! 

Catches of the Day

Class - Pikan - In a true showcase of pure fishing talent, River and Joseph took angling to a whole new level. River reeled in the elusive...stick of the day, while Joseph pulled off an impressive catch of his own—a fully functional fishing rod! It’s not every day you see a fisherman catch more fishing gear instead of fish, but these two proved that when it comes to fishing, anything is possible.
