Sports Day- 2025

St. Mary’s HSS Kizhakkekara

Date: 1st & 2nd August 2025

The Annual Sports Day of St. Mary’s HSS, Kizhakkekara, was celebrated on Friday, 1st August 2025, with great excitement and enthusiasm. The whole school came alive with the spirit of sportsmanship, teamwork, and joy. This year’s event was special as 41 B.Ed trainees from different colleges, including us, were present to assist the teachers in conducting the program smoothly.

The day began with the inaugural ceremony, where the Headmaster delivered the welcome address and formally declared the Sports Meet open. The school ground was beautifully decorated with flags, banners, and tracks marked for various events. The NCC cadets presented a disciplined march-past, and the school choir rendered a patriotic song, adding charm to the ceremony.

The events were categorized into track and field competitions, including 100m, 200m, relay races, long jump, high jump, and shot put. There were also fun events for junior classes like lemon-spoon race and sack race, which made the atmosphere lively. The enthusiasm of the students, the cheers from classmates, and the encouragement from teachers made every event memorable.

As trainees, we were assigned different duties. I was placed in the First Aid Team along with my peers Anu Aniyan, and Albin. We attended to students who had minor injuries such as sprains and scratches, ensuring that they received immediate care. Apart from our main duty, we also extended help in organizing events, managing groups of students, and assisting teachers in scoring and record-keeping.

One of the highlights of the day was the relay race finals, which drew the loudest cheers from both teachers and students. The spirit of healthy competition and team unity was evident throughout. At the end of the program, the winners were awarded medals and certificates by the Headmaster and senior teachers.

The Sports Day concluded with the National Anthem, marking the end of a day filled with energy, excitement, and valuable experiences. For us, it was not just an opportunity to serve but also to observe how large-scale school events are organized, coordinated, and managed efficiently. The experience of being part of the First Aid duty gave us practical exposure and confidence to handle real situations responsibly.

Overall, the Sports Day 2025 was a grand success, providing students with a platform to showcase their talents in athletics and games, and instilling in them the true spirit of sportsmanship. For us trainees, it was an unforgettable experience blending learning, responsibility, and enjoyment.
