Annual Sports Day is known to encourage a healthy level of competition and also bonding in teams as they work together to achieve a goal. It is a great time for students to practice supporting each other through both successes and failure.
What’s more, it can be an opportunity for students who are skilled in sports, to really celebrate their achievements, and receive some recognition from their classmates.
