In June 2017, our annual Sports Day took place. It was a bit overcast as the athletics track and field were set out with all the equipment and there was a short, light shower of rain about ten minutes before it was all due to get under way. The Event was graced by our Country Director Mr Manoj Nair and the School Principal Mr Harvendra Singh Khalsa.

Once all the Classes and Staff had taken their places, the MC’s made sure everyone was ready to go by getting each house to cheer as loudly as they could and remember the school value of “teamwork”.

Every student takes place in races and events. All students take part, working together in their house point teams to secure the points.

A series of races lead into one of the most enthralling and exciting events; showcases of Aerobics, Taekwondo and Yoga. There were several dominant performances in these races but also many very close and nail biting finishes, where the result was in doubt until the finishing line.

It was so encouraging to see each Year Group work together so well in their house point teams with lots of cheering each other on, regardless of which house point team was in the lead. There was very good teamwork but still friendly and healthy competition taking place.

There was just time for three or four heats of both the “Mums’ Sprint” and “Dads’ Sprint”. Fortunately, there were no major injuries or embarrassments and thanks to all the parents who were good sports in taking part.

It is always great to feel the relaxed atmosphere and see the field covered with families and friends having such a good time together. The sun was now shining as well, despite another shower half way through the morning.

Congratulations to Hibuscus House who were the overall winners when the scores from were added together!
