Ms Ntoumenopoulos lead her Year 10 class into battle today, a Battle of the Sexes and we are not talking Billie Jean King versus Bobby Riggs. Oh no, this was fiercer, it was boys against girls.
After a pep talk they hit the basketball courts, followed by a stint on the oval and finally the creme-de-la-creme hair braiding, Jenga, and a general knowledge quiz back in the classroom.
Jenga has never been played with so much rivalry and tension.
Everyone was a winner!

Duncraig Year 10 students participated in a 5-day work experience and service learning program last term to help gain some real world experience in the workplace. Students were placed in cafes, childcare centres and a pharmacy. Thanks to all the employers and service providers who hosted our students. Great experience for the students.
