Our students donned their house colours, with teachers and parents cheering on and the banners put up in homes created a fun atmosphere for sporting action.
Students took part in several physical activities such as rope skipping, treasure hunting, ball shuttle racing, underarm throws, planks, ski hops, push-ups, spoon and egg race, bottle flip and dress-up challenges.
Commenting on the unique event, Coach Fridah said: “The purpose of the virtual sports day was to give students an opportunity to take part in various sports activities, have fun and promote team spirit in a friendly competition. I invited students to generate ideas at the planning stage, which fostered a sense of ownership for the event. Students had fun, and it felt great!”
