Junior Primary Sports day

The sun was shining as we held our Junior Primary Sports day for the first time on the multi-purpose surface. The girls marched down in their houses with the captains holding the house banners. After settling down under the gazebos, they excitedly sang war cries. The Grade 3 sprint races were held in between the girls taking part after every two stations. We ended off with sprint races in all the Grades and with the Grade 3s taking part in relay races. Each and every girl can be very proud of herself for taking part so enthusiastically. A big thank you to all the teachers who helped to make the Junior Primary Sports day run smoothly.

Well done to Isabella Lotto who won the Victrix Ludorum in Grade 3.

The inter-house results were as follows:
