Sandra Gordon, P.E. Coordinator of ESF
Renaissance College (RCHK)
“The philosophy of the RCHK Sports day is participation and
enjoyment. In our lower primary we focus on game-based
skills and cooperative challenges.
Our upper primary students participate in athletic-related
events, such as the high jump, the long jump, throwing and
sprinting events. Students are prepared for these events
during PE lessons.
The upper primary students also have the opportunity to
participate in a competitive 100m sprint race. All students are
timed during PE lessons and the eight fastest boys and eight
fastest girls from each year level compete on sports day."

We take a look at some of the action from sports days across a selection
of Hong Kong schools
Tim Teahan, P.E. Coordinator of
ESF Beacon Hill School
“The main aim is to have fun and
participate in a range of physical
activities. There is also a competitive
element involved. Sports day for
students in primary schools has been
proven to enhance mental and physical
development as well as social skills."
