Bishop Cotton Girls' School Annual Sports Meet - (Seniors)

The Annual Athletic Sports Meet of the Junior and Senior School were held on the 18th and 19th October, 2019 respectively. We were blessed with fine weather by the Almighty on both days and can proudly state that the Sports Meets were an overwhelming success.

The Senior School sports meet commenced with the Opening Prayer by Rev. Dr. Vincent Vinod Kumar, Member of the Board of Management.

We were favoured with the presence of Mr. G. Dilip, former Olympian for the Opening Ceremony and Mr. A.M. Prasad, I.P.S. Director General of Police – Internal Security division for the Closing Ceremony. The Bishop and Chairman, Rt. Rev. Dr. P.K. Samuel along with Members of the Board of Management also graced the occasion.

Mr. Dilip represented the country at the Moscow Olympics in Basketball. The youngest and only player from Karnataka in the team, he was highly appreciative of the infrastructure that promotes sports and physical activity. He exhorted students to capitalize on the facilities and stressed that academics is as important as sports.

Mr. A M Prasad while recalling his own Sports Day expressed his satisfaction at a well conducted Sports Meet and encouraged students to pursue at least one sport which will definitely aid overall development.

Rt. Rev. Dr. P.K. Samuel in his address expressed his happiness at the large turnout of parents for the Senior School Sports Day and emphasized the necessity for physical activity.

The six houses in their colourful uniforms, along with the Guides and the School band presented a spectacular picture.

Long standing records were broken and new ones were set as another batch of athletes emerge to bask in all the adulation and glory.

Maiden House took premier position followed by Millington and Elmes in third place.

As curtains were drawn on the 154th Annual Athletic Sports Meet of the Senior School another success story is quietly etched on the sands of time.
