Tennis Success

Last Saturday, three of our teams (14U boys, 16U boys, 16U girls) played in the annual ACSIS tennis tournament and gained valuble experience. At the end, our 14U boys managed a second placing in the plate division. Well-done too all players as well the parents volunteers (Sumati, Mrs Tan and Dr. Lim) and teacher (Emma) who chaperoned the players.

In the National Schools 19U tournament, our girls have played two games and at the momment is played 2, won 1(v Anderson JC) and lost 1 (v ACJC). They next play Pioneer JC tomorrow. Our Boys' team have also played 2, lost 1 (v ACS (Independent)) and the game against National JC is suspended due to some technically that NJC is claiming against us. They next play CJC on Wednesday.

We are very gald to be invited to play in the tournament and would take away with us all the experience that is presented to us but it appeared that some teams take winning and losing so much more important than us. Teams; just keep on playing and enjoy the game.

Sporting Achievement - Month of April

How time has gone by, we are now in the month of April and at the tail end of ACSIS season 3.

For season 3, our netball teams (19U and 16U) and the soccer teams (14U boys and girls) are involved.

The Netball girls despite playing against bigger and more experience teams have done well in their respective division. The 19U team came in 4th and the 16U girls did better by finishing second, being edged out by AISS. Miss Ladd, the girls and the coach have all put in alot of hardwork to get the team so far. WELL DONE GIRLS!!!!

The 14U girls soccer team is learning along the way and they won their first game last week and they will only get better. The 14U boys are playing in the Grand Final tonight against UWC B and despite missing two of our better players, Diego and Sergio Moreno, the boys should do well and hopefully bring back the winner's medal.

At the same time, we are the first International School to be involved in the Singapore Schools A division Tennis Tournament. We will be up against more experience teams but I am sure the team will grow form the experience, especially the younger players.

Despite being less than 4 years old, I think we have done well so far in terms of being competitive in the sporting scene amongst the International Schools. Although there are hiccups along the way, the three of us, Jess, Rowdie and myself will continue to attempt to expose our students to as many competitve opportunites as possible.
