Student Reflections

The District Athletics was very fun and challenging. I met new friends and participated in the 100m and triple jump. I came second in both events. I also did the relay. We didn’t do well in the relay, but the District Athletics was fun and competitive overall.

I had fun racing against other students.

I liked Athletics Day. I came 3rd in the 1500m race. I had to do four laps around the stadium track.

By Jafar

The Athletics Day was awesome, but it could improve by making the number of people from each school even in each event.

By Indy 

My day was good. I won the long jump and came 3rd with a badge. Sadly, I was not aware that there was a canteen. Overall, it was a good experience. 

By Ruby

I enjoyed participating in all my events. Overall, a great experience.
