"On sports day, we don't just run for the finish line; we run for the joy,
the camaraderie, and the spirit of competition that unites us all."

At the end of the sports gala, winners were recognized and awarded with medals. This is a moment of pride for the students and adds a competitive edge to the event. The fellow students boosted the morale of their counterparts by cheering them up exuberantly.

Moving beyond Grade 1, the Sports Gala also extends to Grade 2. Children dressed in specific attire engaged in three challenging races per class. The races included dressing Santa in UAE costume, decorating the Christmas tree, and passing the hula hoop through their bodies. These activities not only tested the students' stamina, endurance, and racing skills but also added a patriotic touch to the festive celebration. The teachers and fellow students actively contributed to the festive atmosphere through enthusiastic anchoring and cheering. Winners of the races were duly recognized and awarded medals, further motivating them to embrace a healthy and active lifestyle. The teachers also got an opportunity to prove their physical fitness by participating in Tug of war that added a touch of excitement to the event and the little ones cheered enthusiastically for their teachers.

Delhi Private School's commitment to promoting physical fitness and overall development shines through events like the Sports Gala. By infusing fun, themed activities into the curriculum, the school ensures that students not only prioritize physical well-being but also develop essential life skills such as teamwork, sportsmanship, and a sense of camaraderie. These initiatives contribute to creating a positive and holistic learning environment for the students.
