🏃♀️ White Rock at Junior Parkrun! 🏃♂️
It was fantastic to see around 40 White Rock children taking part in the Torbay Velopark junior parkrun on Sunday 12th July, with all four houses proudly represented!
Whether they ran, jogged or walked the 2km course, every child showed determination, encouragement and great team spirit. A huge well done to everyone who took part, you did White Rock proud! 💙💚❤️💛
If your child enjoyed it, or would like to give it a go, Torbay Junior Parkrun takes place every Sunday at 9am and is free. It's a brilliant way to stay active, build confidence and be part of the local community. Find out more by visiting their page.
We hope to see even more White Rock families there soon! 🌟

Sports Day at White Rock... 🏃💙💚❤️💛
What a fantastic day! From sprint races to team challenges, every child gave it their all in June, showing determination, encouragement and brilliant teamwork from start to finish.
A huge well done to all four houses for their incredible effort and support for one another and congratulations to Singer House, who proudly lifted the Sports Day trophy this year! 🏆
It was wonderful to welcome so many parents, carers and family members to cheer on our children, before everyone came together to enjoy our whole-school picnic on the field.
Days like these remind us that Sports Day is about so much more than winning. It's about belonging, resilience, teamwork and making memories together as one White Rock community.
