ACSIS Sports Season 1

As our sporting teams are busy preparing and playing in our first ever ACSIS league competition, I would like to thank all the players who has put in the time and effort in their respective sports.

It has been a fruitful week for our soccer and basketball teams.

We started the week with both our 19U and 16U basketball boys playing their first game and we had mixed fortune in results; the senior boys lost to Waseda Shibuya Senior High School but our 16U boys defeated PBHS B team.

The soccer boys were next to play. Although the 19U boys lost to Australian International School, they played well and would definitely do better in their next game. Our 16U boys did better by beating OFS B team.

OUr senior Volleyball team played their first game on Thursday and defeated UWC B team convincingly. We ended off the week with our 19U Basketball team defeating Chatsworth International on Friday.

I would like to congratulate all the players for their effort and to continue to play to their potential in every game.

Next week would be a busy week for the soccer and volleyball teams where all our games will be played on our grounds. Supporters, please look out for the notices for the games dates and timings.

OSIM Triathlon- Thomas Cheong

In the recently concluded OSIM Triathlon, Thomas Cheong of 9LHA came in 7th overall in the Sprint (junior Boys) category. Well done Thomas!!!

Basketball Friendly with German School

Our 19 and Under team played a friendly game with their german counterparts on the 1 June at their wonderful indoor hall. It was the team's second game of the season and the first playing in a indoor surface. They started the game nervously but got better as the game went. Slowly but surely., they started to play like a seasoned team.

Leads exchanged hands a couple of times and it was at the final minute that the German boys scored the winning basket. It was certainly a good experience for the boys as they get prepared for their coming league.
