Sports Day Fun!

Al Ain English Speaking School hosted it’s first Sports Day this year.  All students in the secondary school (year 7 through to 6th Form) were invited to participate, competing for their House and for individual success.  The event ran throughout the day resulting in semi finals for track events and cumulating in finals which all the school came out to watch, support and cheer their House on.  Field events ran through the day too, going to hotly contested straight finals.

Each student was given the option to compete in as many events as they wished.  This resulted in some fantastic new school records being set, setting a high bar for future competition.

Our 6th form student body not only competed but fulfilled roles leading and running much of the day’s events.  It was with their contribution that such a massive school event could be planned and did run to such a positive and

successful outcome.

All students had previously followed several weeks of Athletics lessons, across a number of disciplines. During this time they were able to gain a sense of their aptitudes across the plethora of choices. Athletics ECA was also offered to develop the student’s prowess within their chosen event. Just under 400 students were involved in competing throughout the day in over 70 races and 30 field event competitions.

A fantastic day was had by all.  AAESS would like to congratulate all competitors for their efforts and team work throughout the day.

Mr Thomas said.  “It was an absolute pleasure to see the students competing with so much determination.  I am extremely proud of our young people. Their sense of team and fair play as well as elation for their peers when competing is second to none”
