Each learner, proudly representing their house, took part in a range of sprint events and fun races like the egg and spoon and sack races. The sidelines were filled with parents and other family members who cheered for the learners.

Shannon Edwards, who serves as the school’s Public Relations Officer, said that learners gave it their all as they competed under the harsh sun with no worry. 

“It proved to be a truly memorable day, filled with energy, excitement and a sense of school pride,” said Edwards.

While the focus of the day was fun and fitness, there could only be one team that walked away with the victory which happened to be the puma house with 84 points. They were followed closely by the cheetah house with 75 points. Rounding up the top three was the jaguar house with 53 points. 

Edwards commended the learners for the collaborative effort and admirable sportsmanship they demonstrated throughout the day. 

She also expressed her gratitude to all parents who came through to support their children and the school.
