44th Athletic Meet
Our 44th Athletic Meet was held at Sham Shui Po Sports Ground on 14 and 15 February 2023. It was a memorable occasion for us, especially as the event had been suspended for a few years due to the pandemic.
Apart from an encouraging total of over 800 entries for individual events, students strived for their best performance in the inter-house, inter-class and inter-society competitions too. Our House Committees spiced up the scene with creative and beautiful props and decorations, while the cheering teams demonstrated great support for their housemates. The Athletic Meet was not only about competing and winning, but also about sportsmanship, teamwork and diligence which are lifelong virtues to uphold.
Our thanks go to Miss Jessica Ching Siu-nga, Hong Kong’s Olympic race walker, for joining us as our guest of honor and giving an inspiring speech.
Results are as follows:
