GTS Athletics Day

Today, we had our annual Athletics Day. It started off with the best weather ever - and then it slowly turned into grey, dull skies with heavy clouds.

We still managed to have lots of fun though. Lots of exciting activities in our houses with some races against the teachers.

Check out some of the photos we took from the day.
