26/06/2012 LORETO COLLEGE SPORTS DAY MARKS WORLD SPORTS DAY

It was a case of third time lucky for Loreto College Coleraine, as its annual Sports Day, postponed twice due to bad weather, ran successfully on Monday 25th June.  Happily 25th June was also World Sports Day, and the Year 8-11 students from Loreto College therefore had the opportunity to participate in this global event.

In the year of the London Olympics, and in the same month that the Olympic Torch Relay had visited the Coleraine area, taking its route past Loreto College, the school’s Sports Day had an Olympic theme.  With the Olympic values of  respect, excellence and friendship being highlighted, each form class from Year 8-11 chose a country and prepared  display and costumes.  The day began with an Opening Ceremony of the chosen countries, and the entire Year 8-11 population of Loreto College, and members of staff, processed around the College’s track with a colourful display of flags and costumes.  This was a stirring beginning to a happy and exciting day of sport for all.  There was tight competition in the formal events, but many of the fun events proved equally popular, such as the Year 8 Novelty Races on the Chapel Lawn and various non-competitive fixtures such as tug-of-war, minibus pull and centipede racing.

The following results were recorded in the competitive events.
