Angel centre students show leadership at first-ever CCC sports day

Over 150 athletes took part in a fun-filled day of sport and teamwork at the Finsbury Park athletic track, thanks to the leadership of Capital City College (CCC)’s Angel centre students.

The inaugural CCC Angel Sports Day was entirely organised by students as part of the AoC Sport Leadership Award. This event was designed and delivered by Rio and Mirvat, AoC Sport Ambassadors and BTEC Sport students in Year 12 and 13, who successfully secured £250 in funding from AoC Sport to bring their idea to life. They were supported by Shaun, a Year 12 Public Service student, who helped coordinate operations and recruit volunteers and participants.

The aim of the event was to give students the opportunity to enjoy sport in a fun, inclusive, and social environment, while also encouraging a healthy sense of competition. Students applied to take part and were randomly assigned to teams to help build new social connections.

Volunteers from CCC’s Public Service, Engineering, Sports Studies and A Level students helped run the event, while student volunteers Elizampet and Paantea from CCC’s Holloway centre acted as media liaisons, making the day a fully peer-led experience.

A day of classic challenges

Participants competed in three traditional events:

• Tug of War
• Three-Legged Race
• Two-Round Relay

Scores from each event were combined to determine the overall winners. Despite being a team of just four, Team A secured second place with support from Team D, who lent teammates during the Tug of War—earning them a Sportsmanship Award.

🏅 1st Place – Team D
🥈 2nd Place – Team A
🥉 3rd Place – Team B

“It was a great experience watching and taking part in the sports day. Everyone—even the volunteers—were excited to take part, myself included,” said Paantea.

Congratulations to all of our students for taking part in the day!
