The meetings were unlike any other, as no scores were kept. In addition, the Sacred Heart coaches introduced a number of original track and field events.
Seven schools attended the foundation phase meeting on September 19 and six schools attended the intermediate phase meeting on September 26.
The programme included traditional track and field events, along with a number of elementary courses such as a ball and hoop race, a sack race, relay and an obstacle course.
“The aim of these events is mainly to build relationships, mass participation, healthy competition and to develop a love for physical activity,” said Mr Andre van der Merwe, thr head of the primary school sports department at Sacred Heart College.
