Lion City Marathon 2008

Participating in this event can improve your stamina and train one's willpower and mental skills. Stamina is important for performance. Besides being physically fit, one has to be mentally strong and motivated during a competition. Willpower and determination lead to strong mental skills. You have the will, you have the way. Perseverance is built through commitment, hard work, patience and endurance. A difficult race it might seem, but once you cross the finishing line, nothing beats the satisfaction and happiness of completing the race.

A team can be forged. A choice to choose 2km ,5km or more. It's all based on your physical level and what's more, an excellent training ground for Napfa.

There will be a training schedule once a team of 6 to 8 participants sign up for the event.

Anybody interested can look for Vanessa from 3I, girls' team captain.

An inclusive sporting event catering to all ages and all abilities.

In recent years, the B division boy's school team has been boosted by the C team boys joining the team at the beginning of the year; and the C division boy’s team too has also increased in its number of members. However, the setback is that the new members are still inexperienced and will therefore require more exposure in inter-school tournaments.

The table-tennis club has been recruiting and encouraging more girls to join the club and to explore the potential of sending in a girl's team in subsequent competitions this year. New equipment has been purchased and installed to meet the projected increase in membership.

We hope that all divisions will get to participate in the inter-school competition and bring glory to the school. Taking part in the tournaments also help to build teamwork and confidence in our members. Table-tennis not only allow the pupils to learn the rules and skills of the game but also help build character and sportsmanship which in turn enhance the total development in the pupils.
