Sports help in developing perseverance, focus, and team management skills from an early age. What more? It strengthens the physical as well as mental health of children.

Aiming to inculcate these qualities in young learners, Apeejay School, Kharghar recently organised sports week for classes 1 to 5. The main goal of this event was to highlight the importance of sports for children’s mental and physical health.  

Showcasing their sportsman spirit, the enthusiastic students gathered at the sports ground early morning. It was delightful to see them participate in various indoor as well as outdoor games like warm-up exercises, obstacle run, sprinting, and Mass PT.  

Amidst the fun and frolic, students followed the rules and regulations of the game and obeyed the decisions of the coaches.

On this momentous day, students displayed their physical abilities and a sense of good sportsmanship as their teachers and friends cheered for them. This activity came as an excellent opportunity to nurture the hidden talent of young athletes in the school. 

Aiming for holistic development of all students, Nisha Upadhyay, Primary Incharge of Apeejay School, Kharghar said, “The initiative helped the students to stay energetic throughout the day. We are planning on continuing this initiative which would then be integrated with academic learning outcomes in the future.”
