During the opening ceremony, the classes attending sports meet will each give a performance to the head teachers of the school. The performances are all about sports, that contain a variety of themes, such as soccer, basketball, fencing, etc. The second part of sports meet is the actual sports and racing. The sports contain 100 meter run, 400 meter run, 800 meter run, 4x100 relay, shot throwing, long jump, high jump, and three-legged race. These events require different skills from students, for example, your balancing skills should be outstanding in order to do well in 3 legged race. Students have nearly 3 hours to compete with each other. They can win medals in each activity if they get a good ranking in the events.

An overall buzz of enthusiasm pervaded throughout much of the Sports Meeting, particularly among the participants, who struggled and strived to win. The final competition, the relay of teachers and 8th grade boys, especially stirred up the crowd, with a teachers’ group winning the race and generating a roar of approval.
