Dodgeball competition at MH on the 4th of November 2022
Dodgeball is so much FUN and the students were sweating and they had massive smiles on their faces. We brought 3 teams to this event due the students love of the game. This competition today was the dodgeball qualifiers. Once again, due to increased interest, the Harlow SSP were required to expand the event from last year. This year a staggering 40 teams attended Mark Hall Academy Sports Centre throughout the day, with events split over the morning and afternoon. With some expert advice on the rules, demonstrated perfectly by the school staff, the children were grouped and ready to play. Both events ran really well, considering the logistics of central timing and the difficulties when umpiring – it really is one of the toughest events to officiate as everything happens so fast and all at the same time. Having said this, there were no disputes, with the children and staff demonstrating great integrity and honesty throughout. As always, thanks were given to the amazing staff members who helped organise and officiate, alongside Mr Stacey, Mrs Pardoe and Mr J Stacey and Mr H Stacey. They were able to expand our events due to fantastic collaboration and dedication of all the people school staff involved – great job all! The 20 teams who qualified from today’s event, will meet in the finals on Friday 11thNovember at Mark Hall Academy. Unfortunately, we didn't qualify for the finals, but the students had a great time playing such an energetic & fast-moving sport. The students will still receive certificates in assembly for their excellent play.
