Sporting Success!

It’s been a big week for sporting success at Duke’s. We’ve had over 30 Year 7 and Year 8 pupils at the New River Sports Centre competing in an athletics competition. Our students arrived with a strong competitive spirit and were determined to leave their mark—and they certainly did!

Our athletes delivered outstanding performances across their individual events, with many achieving notable success. Despite bringing a relatively small group of competitors, our Year 7 team secured an impressive 6th place overall, a fantastic accomplishment.

A special mention goes to those who earned honorary placements (positions 1–4) in their respective events
