As the day turned into evening, the atmosphere became more peaceful, highlighting the school's talent. To finish off the day, students gave music performances, filling the academy with beautiful singing and instrument playing.

Richard Woodley, head of PE, said: "The staff and students worked incredibly hard in pulling together and showed great teamwork in cheering one another on all the way up until the end.

"Even with students beginning to flag around 2am, they still managed to yield the strength to get back onto the equipment, it takes great strength. I am incredibly grateful to all the staff and students for making the 24hour triathlon such an incredible experience."
