education Andrew Craig, P.E. Teacher of ESF Clearwater Bay School “Clearwater Bay School sports day combines competitive and cooperative events. All students have the opportunity to take part in a time trialled long distance event at the beginning of the day, whereby the three fastest times for boys and girls at each year level are awarded 1st, 2nd and 3rd place. During the course of the day, students take part in team-orientated events (such as the sack race) where they try to gain as many points for their house teams. The day culminates with sprint finals, which is an individual competitive event.” ESF West Island "While scoring points and winning trophies is a positive and rewarding part of the experience, what matters most are the invaluable lessons regarding fair play and sportsmanship."
