The annual interschools between Asherville Secondary School and Spandau Secondary School promises to be one of the highlights on the local sporting calendar again – an event where talent, perseverance and true sportsmanship are celebrated.
“On behalf of the governing body, staff and learners of Asherville Secondary School wish every player, coach and official all the best for the matches ahead. You not only carry the colours of your schools, but also the pride, dreams and hopes of your communities” said, Principal Dr. Elfean Jacobs, of Asherville Secondary School. “Sport is about much more than the final score on the scoreboard. It teaches us respect, teamwork, discipline and the value of hard work – lessons that last a lifetime. We trust that this weekend will be characterized by good spirit, honest participation and mutual respect between all participants.”
He also expressed sincere thanks and appreciation to parents, supporters, the local community, sponsors and all those who make their time, resources and support available.
“Without your involvement, events like this would not be possible. Your investment in our young people is an investment in the future of our community. May these interschools not only produce winners on the sports field, but also young people who are inspired to dream big, work hard and always see the best in themselves and others. Let this weekend be a reminder that when schools, parents, sponsors and communities join hands, sport becomes more than just a game – it becomes a force that unites people, builds character and creates hope for the future.”
Spandau Secondary School, Principal Eugene Mackelina, said that Sport, cultural and recreational activities are instruments that they use to instill values. “These values include characteristics such as responsibility, honesty, teamwork, commitment, endurance, tolerance and respect”.
