Tennis Challenge

Each Wednesday, we have had had the pleasure of visiting the Orange Indoor Tennis Centre for our weekly secondary sport. Members of the tennis club have been watching each week and passing on tips to our students. On the final week of sport, a challenge was made to take on our tennis superstars in a tennis match. It was great to engage with the wider community in a friendly game of tennis.
