Secondary Athletics

We performed amazingly in the TISAC Secondary Athletics yesterday with our teams finishing;

• U13's - 1st
• U15's - 2nd
• Seniors - 1st

This is a remarkable achievement, given the size of Ascot in comparison to some of the much larger schools who we were competing against. I am personally very proud of each and every one of the students who took part. I want to congratulate everyone, as it was the collective efforts of all our competitors who contributed to the overall scores. There were too many superb individual performances to mention individuals. 

As always our students were commended, by numerous teachers from other schools, on their sportsmanship and behaviour throughout the day. They were exemplary and I would like to sincerely thank you all for showing Ascot in such a  positive light! 

There will be photo's and video's to follow. Thank you to Yong and Gurshaan for their efforts on the day, taking photographs and videos.
