Sports Day 2009

On 8th April 2009, Kranjians were seen strolling into the Chua Chu Kang Stadium for their Annual Sports Day 2009, early in the morning. They were all dressed in their respective houses: Red Rhino, Yellow Kestrel, Purple Albatross, Green Jaguar, Blue Ibex and Grey Nighthawk. Everyone was feeling excited for the various events that were going to be held on that day. They were all determined to win for their houses.

“Albatross will win for sure!” exclaimed Affiah, a confident secondary one student from Albatross.

When it was time to assemble, they sat with their respective houses and house teachers. “Props” were distributed as the cheering were about to start. Some Rhinos even had their hair sprayed red! The cheer leaders from Albatross dressed themselves as angels. Their cheering proved that they have been working hard, rehearsing for this big day.

Since the students did not get their recess, buns and bottles of mineral water were distributed to them so that they would not feel that hungry while waiting for lunch time.

After settling down, the races started amongst the C girls, C boys, B girls and B boys – all from different houses. There was also a race amongst the various CCAs. Meanwhile, the rest of the spectators continued cheering. They even played the “Bomb” game. All of the runners were very nervous and ran as fast as their legs could carry them. Winners were elated and contented with their achievement. On the other hand, those who failed to win did not feel overly dejected because they knew that they had tried their best and that is what that counts.

These events had been organised by the SSC members, working in collaboration with some teachers.

“Maybe we can have more ‘water stations’,” suggested a teacher. That was the improvement he wished to see in the next Sports Day.

The overall winning house for the year was Ibex. Congratulations Ibex! Everyone cheered for them as they received the House Cup. After all these events, the pupils were finally dismissed. All of them had smiles carved on their faces as they had enjoyed themselves. Even though not all of them managed to participate in the races, they managed to participate in the cheering.
