EVOLV3 House HIS Superstars Competition: A Triumph of Challenges and Collaboration
On Saturday 27th November 2021 56 competitors from Year 5 to Year 11 were invited to take part in our inaugural House HIS Superstars Competition and our biggest and most ambitious EVOLV3 to date. It was felt that a challenge-based format complimented the EVOLV3 vision and values and we decided to turn it into a competitive House Team event. Students from different year groups had to work together, collaborating and contributing to their team’s success while making sure they recorded a score at each of the 26 challenges and events. The challenges were varied and designed to test the students both physically and mentally including a sports quiz, smoothie making, swimming gala, sprints, endurance race, skill stations, tug of war, archery, fitness challenges, table tennis and an obstacle course.
HIS Superstars Champions 2021
A Day of Athletic Achievement and Community Support
Academic Scholar Sohaila Y in collaboration with Mr Petkar designed and produced the live leader board which was a great help and professional addition supporting the smooth running of the event. Power Plate Gulf also supported the event by providing a power plate for the day, great burpee activity led by Thaimi one of their fantastic personal trainers. Paul from Its Just Football also provided some prizes and set up a really enjoyable shooting challenge. Additionally, both Michelle from Aquatix and Suzanne from Du Gym donated some great prizes and freebies which all added to the community feel of this event. All competitors received HIS Superstars goodie bags, including a variety of vouchers from our supportive external providers, a house t-shirt and water. The atmosphere was friendly and supportive but the competition was fierce throughout the day will some outstanding individual and team performances from each House Team.
The leaders changed several times throughout the day and the tension was building towards the end with all eyes on the House trophies. After all the scores were inputted, the teams were invited to the presentation at the end of the day. The winning girls' team was Hatta Hornets and fully deserved as they demonstrated unity and showed tremendous teamwork and support to each other. The boys' event was very close and there were only 4 points between 1st place and 3rd place but Fahidi Falcons came out on top with everyone contributing to their success. Finally, the overall winners of the HIS Superstars Champions House Trophy 2021 went to Hatta Hornets for their combined efforts throughout the day. Well done to all the competitors for contributing to this spectacular day of sport. It certainly was one of our most exciting and energetic EVOLV3 events to date and we hope this will now become an annual event in the calendar.
We would like to personally thank our highly skilled PE team for their support in making this a special day to remember. However, the PE team were also fortunate to have had lots of support and helpers from our wonderful HIS community and staff. Special thanks must go to Miss Amor and the site staff, Mr Quinn, Mr Petkar, Mrs Zanjani, Miss Basheer, Mr Donnelly, Frans from Power Plate Gulf, Du Gym, Aquatix, Paul from Its Just Football, the Post 16 Sports Leaders, our House Captains and the fantastic student team of photographers and videographers. We now look forward to the next EVOLV3 which will be held in February 2022.
