Interschool Sports

The Interschool Sports program for the RAF school is compulsory but remains a mystery until it is announced, at short notice, by a foreign university faculty.

The opposing schools do not know when the game is supposed to start or, indeed, how to play the game, and so, when the RAF school team turns up, most of the opposition don't want to play but get dragged out of their classrooms and dorm rooms regardless.

Each fixture continues until the other school's principal is put in a half nelson and/or all the pies are grabbed from the tuckshop.

This process invariably leads to vandalism of the 'host' school's classrooms requiring long term financial support and reconstruction provided by the convening university who also, incidentally, helps provide the bulk of the sporting equipment for both sides.

The sporting timetable continues until each of the other schools resemble the university, is run by an endorsed principal or no longer has a viable tuckshop.

Recently there have been fewer outside supporters for the sporting fixtures with the traditional cheer squad busy watching daytime television and putting bread on the table. So the RAF teams must rely on their old school spirit to carry them through when the stadiums are empty.
