Saint George’s Community Cup

Outline:

This year, the School will be launching the first ever Community Cup competition. The competition will run throughout the year and provide students with the opportunity to organise community teams, lead and participate in a variety of sports and compete against their rival communities. Each week, one event (sport) will be hosted for a year group. The captains for each community will organise and lead a team in the event to earn points for their respective community. Each community will play against each other, with the communities awarded the following points:

1^st – 12 points

2^nd – 9 points

3^rd – 6 points

4^th – 3 points

Bonus points will also be awarded when teams reach a specified number of goals or points. Students will also have the opportunity to earn achievement points for demonstrating positive attributes such as leadership, encouragement, team work, honesty and determination.
