Bleep Test Challenge Club

Well done to all pupils (and staff!) who took part in the first ever Bleep Test Challenge at Mearns Castle.  We had 36 runners in week 1.  I look forward to seeing more of you next week to beat your scores or get started!

Tests from now on will run in both halls and will be finished by 12:50pm to give you time to get changed and have lunch.  The scores are up on the leaderboard so have a look when you are in the department next.

Congratulations to Lewis Bond and Mr Walker who have the best score so far – 13.3

See you next Wednesday!

In an attempt to challenge and motivate you, Mr Giles will also run the test.  If there is enough interest, this could be a weekly challenge with a leaderboard of boys and girls scores.  There will also be a leaderboard for the most improved scores so that everyone can enjoy success from this challenge.
