Staff versus students’ competition
The Tintern Sports Centre was buzzing at lunchtime on Tuesday 25 February with volleyball matches marking the start of the 2025 teachers versus students’ competition which will run all year with a trophy being presented to the overall winners. First to participate were the Year 12 students who fielded two teams. Court 1 saw a group of talented Year 12 girls taking on nine skilled and confident female teachers, with both teams displaying excellent teamwork and enthusiasm. The teachers claim to fame was that they were ahead during the second set, but the students were far too good, winning 3 sets to 0. Whilst this match was being played, the volleyball match on Court 2 saw a very confident group of Year 12 boys challenging an equally confident seven male teachers. The games were close with the teachers winning some fantastic points. However, they simply weren’t strong enough and the students won 2 sets to 1.
Thank you to all the staff and students who participated and for being such good sports.
Running total: Students 2, staff 0.
Next staff versus student match: Year 11 versus Staff mixed basketball in Week 4 of Term 2.
