02Annual Sports DayThe one day the whole school is on the field

The march past, the displays, the races.

Held on the school field. In January 2026 Classes I to XII came out for the march past and the displays, with the building behind them; Playgroup to KG II had their own events, in an album of their own.

Rows of students in red shirts and caps marching on the sand track, with the chairs, the brick wall and palm trees behind them.

The day carries inter-house and inter-class competition, from the youngest classes to Class XII.

Two albums from January 2026 show the day: Playgroup to KG II and Classes I to XII.

Young children in yellow and blue running across the grass field towards a red finish tape, the building and trees behind.

The date of the next Annual Sports Day is announced as a notice; see Ask the school, below.
