Congratulations to all our Sports teams

Well done to all the students and coaches who participated in the Football and Touch Rugby tournaments on Saturday. If my calculations are correct, we had over 130 Primary students playing sports at the weekend, which is amazing. The improvement of all teams is also very evident, and the skills development of the students has been impressive, which is the overall aim of our Sports Programme.

It is also nice to see this development being translated into success, with our football teams winning three trophies on Saturday. A very big ‘thank you’ must also go to the teachers and parents who give up their own time to coach our students..it is very much appreciated indeed.
