Jas had an amazing show for us during her Teach the Teacher. She was challenged to a duel by her sister. The sword fight took place outside Rm I. It was a challenging difficult duel but Jas triumphed in the end to protect her honour and remain the Lady in green of the Rm I House.
Thanks Jas, we really loved your Teach the Teacher session.

Fencing is one of the oldest sports in the world and the first record of it occurring was in Egypt in 1190BC. Fencing came about from people having duels or sword fights to settle their arguments or disputes. They usually ended in death. In the 1900s duels ending in death were made illegal. Fencing became an Olympic sport for men in 1896, females in 1924.
