The Devonport High School for Girls Round Britain Challenge

The Devonport High School for Girls Round Britain Challenge

The race is on! As part of our drive to support the wellbeing of our school community, we have created a ‘fun’ challenge that we encourage staff, students and parents/carers to take part in. The challenge is a race around mainland Great Britain with 4 teams representing the four houses all working together to achieve the full distance, whilst also competing against each other to see which team covers the greatest number of kilometres. According to the Ordnance Survey, the coastline of Great Britain (not including islands) is 17,819 kilometres, which, whilst it may sound a lot, when dividing amongst all of us becomes a far more achievable goal. The start and finish line is Plymouth and our aim is to complete the full distance in 2 weeks, starting at the end of school on Friday 12th February at 3.35pm.
