We Are the Champions!
We Are the Champions!
The district basketball matches were held in our school on 6th October 2016. The matches were tough and challenging, but as the title of this article suggests, St. Peter’s emerged victorious in all the six categories that we participated in! This was an unforgettable moment in my life. The matches were tough since the teams from the plains (Dindigul, Theni, etc.) were tough opponents. Our coach, Mr.Joseph was very proud of us when we won the matches. The junior team has won the district title after 7 years! And I am proud to have been a part of that team.
After the district matches, we progressed to the next round which was the Divisionals. The divisionals are only for the Under-17 and Under-19 categories. To the great delight of the whole school, the senior boys team (Under-17 category) won the divisionals and have now moved to the State Level for the very first time in the history of the school!! The matches were thrilling and had a nail-biting finish. We were sad that we lost in the other categories (with close margins) but have hope that we will win it in the next year!
These victories brought great joy to our Correspondent sir, Administrator ma’am, our Director Rohan sir, senior co-ordinator of CBSE Sandra ma’am and all the teachers and students! I hope this winning streak continues in the coming years, since WE ARE THE PETERITES – THE MIGHTY MIGHTY PETERITES!

Several successful people are all-rounders who have excelled in academics and sports. St.Peter’s places adequate importance on sports and this can be seen through several sports activities conducted throughout the year. On July 16th, the Physical Education department along with the sports secretaries conducted the Athletic Meet. Students were encouraged to participate in this tournament that includes events like running, shotput, long jump, discus throw and relay races.
The Meet was kick-started by all students taking an oath, which was delivered by the sports Secretary. This ensures everyone is aware of fair play and sportsmanship.
Each House ( Summer, Spring, Autumn and Winter) were allotted a place to be seated, from where students could cheer on their respective house athletes. Every house had athletes for all events, with boys and girls competing separately.
All athletes were motivated by their cheering houses and put their best foot forward in every event. The air was filled with excitement and energy as the competitions were tough and close.
After a half hour break for refreshments, winners were announced. Each winner earned points for their houses, which would eventually be tallied at the end of the year to announce the Best House.
Results of the Athletic Meet:
1st place – Spring House; 2nd place – Autumn House; 3rd place – Summer House and 4th place – Winter House
Everybody left the field with a sense of euphoria and energy that we believe can only be experienced through sports!
