Campuses unite for an unforgettable FLEX sports day!
Our Dearne Valley Campus recently buzzed with an electric atmosphere as students from all three FLEX departments across the RNN Group came together for an exhilarating sports day competition!
It was a fantastic opportunity to bring everyone together for a day packed with friendly rivalry, teamwork, and plenty of laughter.
The day kicked off on our fantastic astro turf fields, which we turned into a vibrant arena for a variety of sporting events. The air was filled with cheers as students showcased their skills in football and rounders, demonstrating impressive teamwork and competitive spirit.
Beyond the traditional sports, the track and field events brought a unique twist, featuring classics like the much-loved egg and spoon race, long jump, shot put, 100 metres sprint and 200 metres sprint that had everyone in stitches. Every event, big or small, was met with enthusiasm and a true sense of camaraderie.
Rotherham College students proved to be a dominant force on the track and field, claiming victory in both the 100 metre and 200 metre sprints. Their football team also demonstrated exceptional skill, securing a win in the football tournament. To round off their impressive performance, Rotherham also took first place in the shot put!
North Notts College showed their speed and coordination, triumphing in the exciting relay race. They also brought home a win in the classic and highly fun egg and spoon race.
Meanwhile, Dearne Valley College students showcased their power and agility, leaping to victory in the long jump competition.
As the day’s competitions wrapped up, everyone gathered in one of our main rooms for a celebratory presentation. The anticipation was palpable as the results were announced, revealing which campus had triumphed in each category. It was a wonderful way to acknowledge the effort and dedication of all the participants.
A quote from Shabnam, our Personal Development Co-ordinator;
“What a fantastic day it’s been. I would like to thank you all for your energy, enthusiasm and incredible sportsmanship. Today, I have witnessed determination, teamwork and great team spirit. I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to: All participants for giving their best, teachers, support staff, Lync Active and personal development team supporting the event. Thanks for all the enthusiastic participants and supporters.”
This sports day was more than just a competition; it was a testament to the strong community spirit within FLEX. Seeing students from all three campuses connecting, collaborating, and celebrating together was truly heartwarming.
The day was a resounding success, creating lasting memories filled with fun, teamwork, and laughter for everyone involved. We’re already looking forward to the next one!
