Middle School Sports Day
S
ports Day on December 12th was a tremendous success. There was a healthy amount of competition between the houses and there was a huge amount of sportsmanship. As the Middle School Student Council (MSSC), we are really proud of how most of the middle school students and teachers showed their excellent house spirit by wearing their house colors. We really appreciate everyone’s help in getting the teams organized quickly and ensuring everyone participated in all of the games. For the next sports day, we would like all of the teachers and students to wear their house colors!
It has been an amazing year with all of you and to see that we’ve all grown and matured. The year is passing quickly and I kind of wished it to be a little longer. This is our last year in middle school and in just a few months we will be in Grade 9! To all the G7 and G6 students keep up the fantastic work, don’t give up halfway! Let’s keep moving forward in life. “Efforts and courage are not enough without purpose and direction” — John F. Kennedy Angie, G8 MSSC Vice President

This sports day had a new sport, which was different than the previous years, and that was kickball! It was a relatively easy sport to play and it was fun for a lot of students; some teachers even played to help their houses. Mrs. Marijoy and I took a lot of time taking pictures of everybody! Everyone seemed like they had fun during sports day. We had basketball, football, ping-pong, handball, capture the flag and hockey. Basketball was really popular and a lot of people were really into it. For football and capture the flag, since it was in the burning hot sun, many of us were tired and sweaty but we were all still a little bit competitive and photogenic. Many people did well in hockey even though they thought it was impossible they still had some fun with this sport! Last but not least, ping-pong. In the well air-conditioned room, everyone was able to cool off from their previous sport activity and refresh. Lots of people got their competitive masks on and hit those ping pong balls hard!
This sports day was a student planned and facilitated and it wouldn’t have been possible without the help of the PHE department and our volunteer referees who spent all day officiating—a huge thank you to Coach Nui, Mr. Toni, Coach Tiew, Mr. Alessio, Mr. Steve, Mr. Markus, Mr. Ben, Mr. Leo, Mr. Khanh, and Mr. Brandon. Also a special thanks to Mr. Neil for helping with the schedule, Mrs. Marijoy for double-checking the things we need for the event, to Khun Peanut, the Tech Department, maintenance staff, Khun Aoh, and Khun Baiboon for being so responsive to our requests. Lastly, thank you to Mr. Bill and Mr. Eulalio for all the support.
