With excitement in the air, the enthusiastic students couldn’t wait to participate. The competitions ran simultaneously in different rooms. We enjoyed lunch with some parents who came to support their children. The day concluded with liturgy and prizegiving.
We held our breath as the winners were being announced. Shouts and accolades filled the auditorium. Miss Smith acknowledged al those who helped with the organization and we thank Miss Smith for all the hard work she put in to make this event possible.
