Straining every muscle
Annual Sports Day 2017
The Annual Sports Day took place on the morning of 13 April at Toa Payoh Stadium. Beattyians took part
in the 100m, 200m and 4 x 100m relay events, showing great enthusiasm and sportsmanship.
Even though the day did not start well due to unfavourable weather, the rain did not dampen our spirits as we
waited patiently for better weather conditions. There was also great House spirit and a sense of unity shown
as both students and teachers were supporting the runners and cheering everyone on, as reflected in what our
Principal Mr Ling said, “This is indeed a true display of One School, One Family.”
Coordination is key at the relay
Teachers are runners too
