When did Javelins become less deadly?

Last Thursday was VIS Secondary Sports Day.  Due to internet problems  (GRRRR)  I couldn't post any photos.

It was a great day, with a focus on participation and competition.  Students in house groups which was great as younger students mixed with the older students, but were still able to run, jump or throw against their peers to be the best in their grade.

Mr Mark supervised the javelin from the comfort of his cane arm chair - he had a great system!

Question of the day - What is it with plastic javelins???
