This week, the whole secondary school had one of the best days of the year – Splash Day!
We started with a very funny relay game. Each team had a frisbee full of water. The students had to pass it over their heads to the next person in line, all the way to the last one. That person had to pour whatever water was left into a bucket. The team with the most water in their bucket won! It was harder than it looked—and very splashy!
Then came the main event—the water fight! Everyone grabbed water balloons, water pistols, and buckets. There was even a paddling pool and a hose! It didn’t matter if you were fast or slow—you were going to get soaked. Teachers and students ran around laughing, chasing each other, and having the best time.
“It was so much fun splashing each other! My PE teacher even borrowed my water pistol and sprayed someone!”
One teacher said, “Watching students and teachers laugh like best friends was the best moment.” Another teacher even slipped during a game, but they laughed and kept playing. That’s the kind of fun we had. The whole event lasted about an hour, but we will remember it for a long time!
“The best part was at the end when it turned into a free-for-all. Everyone got wet!”
Why Splash Day Is Special
At Grace Secondary School, school should be fun, not just about books and tests. When we play together, we grow closer as a school. Splash Day helps students and teachers feel like a big team.
“Getting soaked together builds serious trust.”
Having fun together helps us feel happy and safe. When students enjoy being at school, it’s easier to learn, make friends, and do their best. Fun helps us grow!
Our Teachers Are Amazing
All of our teachers are trained and certified. That means they know a lot about how to teach. But they also know how to have fun! On Splash Day, they didn’t just watch—they joined in. They got wet, laughed, and played just like the students.
Our teachers understand that learning doesn’t just happen in the classroom. It happens when we build friendships, show kindness, and enjoy being part of a team. They help students learn and enjoy school at the same time.
Looking Ahead
If you’re new to GSS or thinking of joining, Jared* said, “Bring your water gear and get ready for the best day ever!”
Splash Day may only last an hour, but it shows what our school is all about—community, friendship, and fun. At Grace Secondary School, we believe school should be a place where we work hard, grow together, and smile a lot.
We’re already excited for next year’s Splash Day. Just remember—no one stays dry!
