Team Play launched

League of Legends

On Monday 4 June, Cecil Hills High School launched its first weekly e-sports tournament in which students from Years 9 to Year 11 competed in the online game - League of Legends.

League of Legends is an online team based e-sport which allows students to combine strategic thinking and coordinated team-play whilst providing opportunities for Cecil Hills  High School staff to teach important life-skills - including leadership, respect, discipline, netiquette and effective online communication.      

Last year, more than 360 million people tuned in to watch the competitive mid-season finals of professional League of Legends. The widespread enthusiasm and passion which comes from the community of this e-sport is matched by Cecil Hills High School students every Monday as they mentor each other and overcome obstacles together during our school-wide tournament. The winning team of the tournament will compete against other NSW schools across the state to represent Cecil Hills High School on the broader e-sports stage.

Thank you to Mr Lee, Mr  Hillsmith, Mr  Lay, Mr  Vargas and Mr Sutton for the ongoing support and time required to help form the club and for providing innovative opportunities for Cecil Hills High School students.
