With limited students able to take part due to IB and GCSE exams, we are extremely proud of these great results.

Mr Fung spoke with the convenors and chief judge at the end of the event, the feedback was other schools will have to work harder now as WIS is becoming a very strong competitor in the sport.

Special mention to Olivia Niemy who was the only girl representing WIS in the girls division and took 5th= in the B grade 500m.

Also well done to Steven Van Trooijen did not disappoint and managed to win the gold medal while breaking the A grade 500m record(held since 2016) by 3.4s, and in a 500m sprint that is equivalent to 3 hours, very impressive result!

Both boy teams performed exceptionally well, with the A grade boys only losing 2nd place to La Salle College by 4 points. B grade boys secured 3rd place and overall boys took 3rd place.

A superb performance! Well done to all and thanks to Mr Fung for his coaching!
