On Thursday 16th May we held our annual sports day in Nemo Rangers.
After postponing the event on Tuesday due to heavy rainfall we were very lucky to have sunshine for most of the day.
There was a great atmosphere from the onset and all students were full of enthusiasm for all events. All students warmed up with their class groups on the pitch and the 6th years provided some great music and came dressed for the occasion in various shades of purple.
There was something for everyone on the day, with a variety of events organized for all students. We had our novelty events such as the egg & spoon race, sack race and 3-legged race and then our athletics events included the 100m sprint, and the high jump. This year due to the change of venue the long jump couldn’t be completed but was replaced with the welly throw which quickly became one of the highlights of the day.
There was great talent on display throughout the day with medals being awarded for each event.
After lunch the students and teachers competed in the inter year 4×100 relay. There was great excitement surrounding this event with the teachers finishing first, followed very closely by the sixth years in second and fifth years in third position.
We finished the day with a very entertaining and extremely competitive teachers vs 6th years soccer and football match.
A fantastic day was had by all. Thank you to all teachers for their help and support on the day and to all students for their cooperation and full participation.
