SPORTS occupies a disproportionate share of the pupils’ mind. Perhaps it is good that this is the case as sports enhances fitness, while teaching the spirit of teamwork and discipline. In short, sports contributes to character building while being enjoyable.

Those who love and/or have been involved in sports would have learned that the positive values from participation lasts a lifetime. Lives were prolonged. Personalities were shaped. Other than the excitement of winning, we learned to accept defeat, work as a team, socialise and be more responsible.
