GPJ Event at Newent School
On Friday afternoon, Highnam played Ann Cam in the GPJ tournament at Newent School. The GPJ is an annual event and involves 5 girls and 5 boys taking part in 5 events spread over two hours. Adam, Joseph, Christopher, Alex, Matthew, Lucy, Sophie, Abigail, Isobelle and Charlotte represented Highnam Academy. The events are played in the following order: Volleyball, mini tennis, uni-hoc, cricket and athletics.
Highnam won the volleyball and tennis. Ann Cam won the uni-hoc and cricket. This meant it was a draw going into the final event. Unfortunately, Highnam lost the final athletics event and therefore were knocked out of the competition.
Many thanks to the team supporters and Mrs Townsend for taking the team to the event.
