Fun and entertainment at athletics meet

Sacred Heart College hosted two innovative inter-Catholic athletics meetings for primary schools.

The meetings were unlike any other as no scores were kept so that the children could have fun as opposed to serious competition.

The programme included traditional track and field events, along with a number of elementary courses such as a ball and hoop race, a sack race relay and an obstacle course.

“The aim of these events is mainly to build relationships, mass participation, healthy competition and to develop a love for physical activity,” said André van der Merwe, head of the primary school sports department at Sacred Heart College.
