This week Year 8 Boys have participated in two Tyne and Wear School Games events.

On Tuesday Nathan Gray, Nathan Emson, Michael Bradley and Alex Baxter took part in the North Tyneside Indoor Rowing Championship. All four students improved their personal bests and Nathan Gray was Burnside’s best performer placing 9th overall by rowing 697m in 3 minutes.

On Thursday night Year 8 boys played their first handball matches. Despite only having one training session behind them, they managed to win their first match but unfortunately lost their next two to Wellfield Middle School and Churchill High School.
