Our school community gathered at the Wanchai Sports Ground on the 11th of September to enjoy a fun-filled day of Inter-house Athletics Meet. Our student athletes competed in sprints, hurdles, high jump events and more, showcasing their impressive athletic abilities despite the scorching heat.
As always, the Cheering Competition was a highlight of the day, with all five houses performing their painstakingly choreographed track dances. House teachers also participated in the event, which was full of house spirit and light-hearted energy.
Our Athletics Meet finished with the annual tradition of the Student-Teacher Relay, where each representing house had a team of two teachers and two students. It was a very exciting race, which saw Hurrell House come out victorious again. The final event was the 400-meter Fun Walk, where students and teachers walked around the track before ending the day. Girls from Diocesan Girls' Junior School and Hangzhou Foreign Languages School also joined in this rousing and entertaining Fun Walk.
We congratulate Gibbins House for winning the Cheering Competition, as well as Symons House for being the overall Champion of this year’s Athletics Meet.
