Welcome to Oxford High’s Virtual Sports Day 2020 – the first-ever of its kind.
There’s no denying that we would dearly love to be out on the field in our colourful house t-shirts as a whole school community, but sadly we cannot be.
Instead, we’re offering all students the chance to take part in a Virtual Sports Day from home, in competition for those all-important house points.
- There are 18 events included below, demonstrated by the PE department, for you to watch and then take part in.
- When you have done the event you must submit your score on the Virtual Sports Day spreadsheet on your form group PE Google Classroom.
For every event, there will be a winner in each year group, the overall winner, and then also the Victrix Ludorum prize that will be awarded to the person who scores the most points individually in each year group. There are lots of prizes at stake for your house and yourself too!
There is no doubt that this Virtual Sports Day will go down in history, so get involved, set some records, and win lots of house points and some illustrious prizes!
For Years 7-9, all your scores must be submitted by 5 pm on Tuesday 30th June.
Years 10 and 12, yours must be submitted by 5 pm on Wednesday 1stJuly.
If you have any questions please email your PE teachers or submit them on your PE Google Classroom.
Enjoy and good luck!
