43rd Annual Track & Field Meet 10 March 2011

Under the hot and blistering sun, the P3-P6 girls came together for the 43rd Annual Track & Field Meet on Thursday 10 March 2011.

The competitors for the day lived up to the athlete's pledge they took at the opening of the meet and sportsmanship was the name of the game throughout the morning. Girls who were not competing gave their all by cheering for their respective houses and friends.

The highlight of the morning was the Parents Race - its was heartening to see so many parents coming forward to take part in it and this thrilled the girls.

Equally thrilling was the Teachers Race which got many girls up on their feet cheering the teachers who were representing their houses.

Congratulations to all participants of the meet and thank you parents, your presence today @ Bedok Stadium meant a lot to your daughters!
