HOUSE RULES
Teamwork wins out On 29 October, secondary students and teachers enjoyed a beautiful, hot, blue-sky day at Kwai Chung Sports ground. Secondary Athletics Day is one of the major events of the year for Discovery College’s house system, and is a great chance for students to enjoy some friendly competition. Students competed in numerous field and track events, testing their teamwork and sportsmanship. Highlights included the high jump, long jump, and the discus/tyre throw. Students rotated through the field events, participating and photographing their teammates. All participants also enjoyed cheering on their classmates in the various year-level relay events, and especially enjoyed watching the much-anticipated staff relay. Mr Philip wowed the crowd with his Olympic-worthy speed at the start of the race, and Ms Pickett crossed the finish line miles before the rest of the teachers. Points were awarded to each house for student competition, participation and spirit. The competition was strong and participation levels were high, leaving everyone feeling a part of this wonderful DC community. Jason Mckimmon Head of PE Department
