Celebrating persevering for success!

Last Thursday was our school Athletics Day. It was awesome to see so many students participating and showing REP throughout the day. Athletics Day was not just about winning; it was about participating, having fun, and a sense of community.

The sense of accomplishment and pride left everyone with a lasting memory of a day filled with sun, smiles, and success.

Room 14 got the scoop from students on the high points of the day:

What was your favourite event during athletics day, and why did you enjoy it the most?

Linkin: 100 metres, because I'm a sprinter!

Pravash: High jump, because I won!

Mila: Long jump, because I came first and it was very fun!

Stella: Long jump was my favourite because it was fun and challenging!

How did participating in athletics day make you feel, and what new skills or strengths did you discover about yourself?

Linkin: I had fun. I am better at running and jumping.

Pravash: Jumping over stuff and running really fast.

Mila: That I was good at long jump, and it made me feel happy.

Stella: Participating in athletics turned out to be way more fun than I thought  My strengths were being able to jump 3.80m in long jump.

What challenges did you face during athletics day, and how did you show perseverance to overcome them?

Linkin: I showed perseverance when competing with my friends.

Pravash: The shot put was really heavy, and I could not throw it far. But I still tried my best.

Mila: High jump, giving it a go even when I was not sure I would do well.

Stella: In high jump, I had a fear of slipping over, but I showed perseverance by doing it anyway!

Wow! What a fantastic day! Thanks to everyone who came along to cheer our students on!
