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!

Our school has four houses named after each season; Summer, Spring, Autumn and Winter. The house which conducted the basketball tournament held on 7th July, 2016 was Autumn house.

Students belonging to all the four houses participated and each house had to compete against each other. This brought out the competitive spirit in us all!

There were a lot of spectators cheering on their houses since it is exciting to watch friends play and compete against each other. The stadium was noisy but fantastic. The atmosphere was electric with the cheers of the students and the enthusiasm of the participants.

The school management had organized the tournament and the participants were duly briefed about the rules of the game.

We witnessed good sportsmanship by all the players which was the best part of the evening.

We finally came to the most anticipated part of the day which was announcement of the results. The tournament had ended with Summer house clinching first place, followed by Autumn house, Winter house and Spring house respectively.

The games were exhilarating and everybody thoroughly enjoyed themselves. It represented what we learn at Peter’s, which is participating is more important than winning or losing. And the spirit of true sportsmanship!

Congratulations to all the four houses for a brilliant game with good team spirit!
