HOW DO INTERSCHOOL COMPETITIONS BENEFIT STUDENTS?
– networking
– coordinating teamwork
– fostering leadership skills
– developing a growth mindset
– improve social skills
– a platform to showcase talents

HOW DO INTERSCHOOL COMPETITIONS BENEFIT SCHOOLS?
– wider recognition
– furthering contacts among schools in the area
– better image for the school

Many athletes are born out of such competitions, and it has been and continues to be an effective way of figuring out the best athletes and sportspeople around the world.

We aim to promote various learning experiences that will support the development of a holistic child – which can succeed in any field they’ll go into in the future. But, as a new school, it takes a bit of time for us to go through the bureaucracies of registering with different associations, and we thank you for your patience and continuous support.

Thank you, children, for your time, dedication and hard work! And thank you, Coach Joshua, for making this happen.

Warm regards,
Ms Manda
Head of School

This is part of our mission to promote health literacy (for more details on our ‘Learning Culture’, please visit /learning/learning-culture/).
Please note that children will have access to water throughout the day, and break and lunchtimes will run as usual.
We look forward to a fantastic day engaging in many sporting events and working together as a team.

NB: A school community Sports Day will be organised later in the year when all parents will be invited to cheer for our children and will notify you with ample of time notice.
