LISKEARD School and Community College joined national school sport week with a series of hotly contested activities.
A whole school sports day saw students completing Olympic-themed events to get into the spirit, including special lessons with Vicky Gilbert and Lee Pascoe.
Olympic videos, human obstacle courses, sports nutrition advice, lessons on how exercise affects the body, racing, walking and tag rugby were all on offer.
The sports day kicked off with an opening ceremony complete with dancers and a samba band.
Barbara Snowling, a torch bearer for the official Olympic Torch Relay, gave a motivational speech about the Olympic motto, encouraging students to be the best and aim high.
The whole school took part in inter-tutor netball, football, dodgeball, handball and volleyball tournaments before the relays.
A spokesman said: "Due to the bad weather, the participants were skipping rather than running but spirits were not dampened as staff and students rallied behind their team."
The day ended with a comical staff relay, won by the PE department.
In a closing ceremony, head teacher Donna Bryant and the PE department gave speeches, followed by presentations for runners-up and winners.
"The day, arranged by Sam Dunkey and the fantastic PE department at Liskeard School, was a huge success and was thoroughly enjoyed by all," said the spokesman.
