Also, we wish to congratulate Daniel (Y4) for winning Silver and Bronze in the swimming competition.

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
