Last day of Term 2 - Staff v. Students Volleyball Showdown

To wrap up the term, students and staff faced off in a fun-filled Staff vs Students Volleyball Challenge across both lunch breaks. There was plenty of friendly competition, laughter, and school spirit on display as each year level took on the teachers. After some impressive rallies and determined efforts, only one year level managed to defeat the staff - the Year 10s! 

Congratulations to our Year 10 champions for claiming bragging rights until the next showdown! Unfortunately Staff were victorious across every other year level
