Hulhudhoo School’s Inter-House Athletics Meet begins

Hulhudhoo School athletics meet began with a colorful opening ceremony at Hulhudhoo football ground yesterday. The competition is held among the four houses of the school, namely Red, Green, Yellow and Blue. The Athletics Meet will be held for two days, and events for the Friday were mostly sprints of various lengths for various age categories.

Officials at the Meet said that over 200 students are taking part in the competition and that age categories are Under 13, Under 11, and Under 9. As the Meet is held every other year, any student studying at Hulhudhoo School gets the opportunity to take part in the event three times before they graduate from the school. “In order to ensure that the most number of students participate in the event it’s necessary for the school to make it an annual event” said a teacher.

As the Hulhudhoo School is a primary school, some of the events are excluded from the Meet, considering age and capacity of the students. Javelins, Shot-Put and water sports activities are among them otherwise practiced normally at secondary levels.

In Hulhudhoo any things take its culmination. Parents pay great attention on co-curricular activities like Athletics Meet. They would encourage their respective Houses excessively and would keep the noise at the ground constantly. “We sometimes feel difficult in preceding these sorts of events due to parents influence and interruption” said a member of organizing committee. According to him, that shows the scale of parents’ attention on their children’s growth though. And he appreciated their endeavor in making such events success always.

As the Meet is held for two days the event would be complete by Saturday. More drama and hapennings are expected in the final day of the event, which is largely seen by students, teachers and respective parents as a victory whatsoever. View Photos
