Panathlon
The panathlon was held here in college on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday this week.
We had 1700+ pupils from 21 secondary schools ( including Special Schools ) in the City involved -- the biggest event of its kind in the country. We had 12 SPD students from years 2 and 3 responsible for organizing, hosting and running the event each day, along with a large number of other students from other SSPEL courses involved in officiating individual competitions. We also had half a dozen coaches from local clubs working with different sports and even a Chair of Governors, who turned up to support his pupils.
In the feedback session on Thursday afternoon, our students acknowledged how much they had learned from the experience as well as how much they had enjoyed it.
This event also has huge value as a pr exercise for us to the kids and their families, as well as across the city through teachers and local clubs.
