3rd Annual Sports Meet: A Celebration of Spirit, Strength, and Community

 

The school community came together in a vibrant celebration of energy, teamwork, and perseverance at the 3rd Annual Sports Meet, held at the Olcott School Grounds for learners from PY3 to MY3.

In parallel, our Early Years (EY) learners had their own Sports Day—an equally joyful and spirited affair. The morning was filled with laughter and excitement as children participated in fun relays and obstacle courses, while parent events brought families onto the field, creating moments of shared joy and connection. It was heartening to see such enthusiastic participation, making it a truly inclusive celebration of movement and play.

The main event commenced on a serene note with a Prayer to the Universe, followed by a warm welcome address by Sports Captain Vidhatru Perumal. The formal opening was marked by the unfurling of the school flag by the Principal, Ms. Padmini Sambasivam, who declared the meet open.

A highlight of the day was the March Past, where the Wildcats displayed impressive discipline, unity, and house pride. This was followed by the administration of the Sports Oath, reaffirming a shared commitment to integrity and sportsmanship. The atmosphere was further energized by motivational musical performances by parent and teacher volunteers.

The track events saw learners push their limits with determination and resilience, competing in the 100m, 200m, 400m, and 600m races. The meet also featured vibrant display performances, including the Mass Drill Hoops by PY5 and MY1, a lively Fun Relay by PY3, and a striking Pyramid formation by MY2 and MY3—each reflecting coordination, creativity, and teamwork.

Individual Championship Winners:

  • PY3 & PY4: Nilan Prasanna, Vedah Atisha Chordia
  • PY5 & MY1: Gautam Dev Gokul, Thejasvi Pandian
  • MY2 & MY3: Vidhatru Lakshmana Perumal, Vismaya Lakshmana Perumal

The prestigious House Championship was awarded to the Panthers, recognising their consistent performance and collective spirit.

The event concluded with a heartfelt Vote of Thanks by School Captains Ananya and Anthony Joe, followed by the National Anthem—bringing a memorable day of celebration, effort, and community to a close.
