Overall, it was a fantastic afternoon with a brilliant atmosphere throughout and great performances on show from all schools and teams that were involved. Thank you to Adam from Sportshall UK for leading the event on our behalf and to the sports leaders from Hobart High School who were amazing and helped with judging both the track and field events and encouraged/supported the pupils to perform their activities.

If pupils have enjoyed today’s event, we encourage schools to provide the children the opportunity to develop further by putting on clubs after school, lunchtime and before school. We also encourage them to join a local community club to improve health and fitness.
