Team building games after Laser Tag

Thanks to Miss Sarah Choo for liaising a successful Laser Tag game. She will post the photos of the laser tag games soon. Thanks to parents who contributed food for the occasion too. It was a feast! It's a rare chance that we have such a big turnout and pupils did enjoy themselves. It's so heartening to see gymnasts who usually train outside to join us back in school for this occasion. It was indeed a team-building event to see them eat, play and interact together.  

Below are photos of some fun competitions between the boys and girls after the laser tag game. They competed in relay standing broad jump, cartwheel, hand walk, inverted walk, etc. They cheered for one another and even the younger ones were able to participate!

Venue and time for Laser Tag game

Venue: School gymnasium
Time: 2-5pm
We have a kind sponsor who offered to pay the extra top-up amount for all the 30 participants. Thus there's no need for individual participant to make any payment. Really appreciate this kind gesture. There's also some food before the game, at CRC 3rd floor foyer, on the way to the gymnasium. Please make sure you've inform the teacher about your attendance.  See you there.

Training starts again!

A gentle reminder : Since SA1 has ended, training starts today!
Pupils who had forgotten to attend today's training, do come tomorrow. For p4 pupils who will be taking NAPFA tomorrow, you can continue training after NAPFA.
