HIHS Sports Carnival 2007

Yesterday 25 May was the HIHS Sports Carnival 2007. The event started at 7.35 am where we got to see our house logos for the first time and there was a handing over of the House Flags. Wow!It was just like a mini olympics and so grand... Nigel my Yellow Falcon House Captain said that he also did not know about the flag and that was the first time he saw it.




Here are some photos of the banners that was put up on the fence of the school field.




At 8am there was 4x 430m staff relay. This was also the offical opening of the sports carnival by Mrs Wong. No guesses for which house won the staff relay. It could only Yellow Falcons, my house. Mr Rizal ran so fast , so did Mr Sim. But that was to me not the highlight of the day. For me it was the 1300m race to held later at 9.10 am.

The games were held concurrently. There was soccer,



Captain's Ball, Basketball, Badminton, Floorball, Table tennis.

At 11am the 3 guest of Honour came. I think they were from the National Soccer Team There was an exhibition game with them. They played with our school teachers (wearing red number tags)




The GOHs wore white soccer jerseys.The match looked quite exciting...

Later they presented the prizes for some of the events. But not athletics. Oh dear! I was still waiting for my medal...




Then there was Push ball




and tug of war. Again all by levels. By this time t was 2 p.m. and still the evnt had not finished...


From our teacher's shadows you can see that it is very hot and that it was the mid- day laready




But the day was not finished yet. There was still the Cheerleading Finals from the four houses.




These are the Red Kites. It was already 2.30 p.m. when there was annaouncement that the Carnival was already over and the medals for the winners would be given out after school holidays.

Oh well! Except for that the event ran overtime. I really enjoyed myself and there were many events to see. I am looking forward to my next year's school sports carnival ....
