At Witty
International School, the guiding philosophy of providing children with a
holistic education has always been at the heart of everything we do. This
day is always exciting, as sports is considered a vital part of our daily
routine. The sports day began with the March Past. After a quick inspection,
the squads marched in unison as a cheer went up from the audience.Everybody’s
eyes were fixed intently on the field while the sports teachers gave the
commands enthusiastically. The movements were stiff, yet graceful. Everybody
was in sync with each other.
The students entered
into the spirit of the occasion in a grand way with the oath being administered
by the Sports captain. An energizing equestrian display set the tone for the
rest of the event. The students displayed a series of drills mesmerising the
audience with their energetic performances. The spectators were enthused by the
gymnastic performances and praised the efforts profusely. Once the races began,
the air was filled with cheering and tons of encouragement for the young
athletes.
The real test of
endurance, vigour, strength, vitality and agility among the students was
witnessed in the 100m, 200m and 400 m races of the boys and girls. The finale
of the races was 100x4 relay. This race focussed on the teamwork and
coordination and the team which handled pressure well was the ultimate survivor
of the game.The athletes were agile and swift. Their technique was absolutely
brilliant.
Medals were
distributed and new and old talents were awarded. The students displayedhouse
spirit and team work.The athletic events paved way for the breath-taking and
stamina challenging – the football and basketball matches. The final two teams
respectively were finalised after laborious quarter-finals and semi-final
tournaments. It was an excitingly nail
biting match where the best teams emerged victorious.
In his concluding
speech, the Chief Guest Mr.L.C Singh, praised the endeavours of the school. He
highlighted the necessity of sportsmanship in a world riddled with rat race for
glory.
The Principal,
Mr.Bijo Kurian, proudly expressed, “Sports is not just about winning. It is
about building interpersonal bonds and often has elements of wishes fulfilled,
not to mention elements of camaraderie and above all, participating for the
honour of sports, the glory of the game and the spirit of sportsmanship which
we imbibe in the students form a very young age.
