Staff v Pupils Football

The teams for this years contest were very well matched and the game could have gone either way. The Staff scored the first goal but the pupils deservedly equalized before half time. Mr HIll struck his second goal of the game early in the second half to regain the lead and despite several scares and pressure on the staff goal as they tired towards the end they held out for a 2-1 victory. 

On the balance of play a draw would probably have been a fairer result.

 

Staff v Pupils Netball

The Netball was played in fantastic weather conditions with both teams showing good skill in a keenly contested first half. The teams were close at half time with the staff holding a narrow lead but the heat saw both teams tire a bit in the second half with the staff increasing their lead to retain the shield.

Mrs Bruce was on hand to present the trophy to the winning captain, Mrs Coltherd. A special thanks also to Karen and Kirsty Burns who came to spectate but agreed to referee the match at very short notice! 

Toilet Twinning Fundraising lead by the Eco Club

Eco Club displaying some of their activity ideas for the Fundraising

On May 16^th, the Eco Club lead a whole school Eco Action Day based on Clean Water and Sanitation.  A whole host of fun activities were planned: wordsearches, colouring in competitions, a treasure hunt and physical challenge activity all based around learning more about clean water and sanitation both here in Orkney and throughout the world.  We successfully raised enough money to donate to Toilet Twinning.  We have now provided four community toilets in the Dominican Republic of Congo and two individual ones in Nepal. 

Our pupil voice is strong here at Papdale and we continue to care about our future and make a difference.  Well done!
