Lawrence
High school celebrated their Annual sports day on Sunday, 2nd
December 2012, at the Police grounds, Adugodi-Bangalore.
The huge and
sprawling ground was decorated with festoons, flags and buntings. The well-laid
out tracks were clearly an indication of what was to be a well-contested sports
event.
All the
school participants looked special in their sports uniforms. Parents too attended
in large numbers and the stands were full and overflowing!
The Chief
Guest, Mr.Bangara, M.D. of Auto Striping India, Pvt Ltd, arrived promptly at
9.00am. He was personally welcomed by Mr.P.M.Subbaiah,Chairman ,Board of
Trustees,Lawrence High School (ICSE). Mr. Bangara was escorted to the podium
directly where he received the general salute, followed by the salute at the
march past led by the school captain.
The four
Houses- Nalanda, Mithila, Taxila and Magadha- marched past smartly, doing their
respective Houses proud.
In his
address to the students, teachers and parents, Mr.Bangara stressed on the
importance of excellence, total commitment and hard work being the foundation
to success in life and that sport too emphasizes these values as is exemplified
by all great sports personalities and their achievements.
The speech
was followed by varied displays that showcased the talent of both- the students
who performed and the teachers who groomed them. There was an extraordinary
display of order, coordination and a sense of rhythm.
The rest of
the day was devoted to conducting various track events like the 100m, 200m, 400m
and the most exciting- Interhouse Relays.
The
Tug-of-War was great fun to watch. Some of the teams were so evenly poised that
it was difficult to guess who the winner would be!
Races were held for the parents and teachers
alike and it was thoroughly enjoyed by the participants as well as the
spectators.
The winners
of the events were suitably rewarded at the Prize distribution ceremony with bright,
glistening trophies and certificates.
The Sports celebrations
ended with a fitting vote of thanks given by the school vice-captain for sports.
