Report for the Principal
The Student Council is pleased to present the results of this year's sports day. A total of 195 pupils took part in the four main events.
- 100‑m sprint: 48 pupils (≈24.6% of participants) - average satisfaction 4.2/5.

- Relay race: 52 pupils (≈26.7%) - average satisfaction 4.5/5, the highest rating.
- Football match: 60 pupils (≈30.8%) - average satisfaction 4.0/5.
Analysis shows that the relay race attracted the most participants and achieved the highest satisfaction, suggesting that team‑based events are particularly popular. The long jump, while well‑attended, received the lowest satisfaction, indicating possible issues with equipment or coaching.
