Inter-tutor competitions at John Hanson have been in full swing this year, with an incredible eight events already completed and three more still to come before the end of the academic year. Students have had the opportunity to represent their tutor groups across a wide range of subjects and activities, demonstrating teamwork, creativity, resilience and school spirit which sees each students receive a respect point. Students gain points for participation and for their standing in the event which are added together for an overall score for their tutor group.
Events have included:
- A Humanities quiz packed with questions from Religious Studies, Geography and History.
- A collaborative Tutor Group Bunting Competition celebrating how different countries and cultures mark Christmas.
- A highly competitive PE Dodgeball Tournament to crown the ultimate champions.
- A fast-paced Maths Relay where students raced to solve problems and unlock their teammates’ turns.
- An English riddles challenge.
- A Science paper aeroplane competition testing both design and distance.
- A Food Technology challenge to create an impressive Italian pasta dish.
- A Performing Arts competition where students used a stimulus to devise a theatrical performance, dance or musical piece.
The programme has already doubled in size compared to last year, which is a testament to the commitment and enthusiasm of both staff and students. The variety of competitions has ensured there is something for everyone, allowing more students than ever to get involved and contribute to their tutor group’s success. A huge thank you goes to everyone who has organised, supported and participated in the events so far.
There are still three exciting competitions left to round off the year, with MFL and Art taking place over the final weeks of June before the inter-tutor competition reaches its thrilling conclusion at Sports Day. With double points on offer, everything is still to play for as tutor groups battle it out for the overall title!
