GRADE OF ORIGIN Week 2
This week in Senior School we continued with week 2 of the "Grade of Origin" lunchtime sporting competition. This term, year groups will compete against each other to determine which year group are the champions at Thomas Hassall. Each year group will play Futsal, Basketball or Volleyball to determine the winners of the inaugural Grade of Origin Cup.
This week students competed in Basketball. All games have been hotly contested and spectator emotions once again at fever pitch. The competition has been the talk of the College around Secondary School with students reflecting on performances of their year group and looking forward to upcoming fixtures.
