Year 5 to 8 Sports Day – Thursday 26th February
Dear Parents and Guardians,
We are looking forward to the Year 5 to 8 House Sports Day at Kwai Chung Sports Ground.
Events
Throughout the day, the students will be competing in a variety of athletics (track and field) events with which they are familiar from their PE lessons. All students will take part in exciting house activities and have the opportunity to sign up for multiple athletic events during the sports day assemblies taking place next week.
Travel and Timing – Logistics
The students will arrive at school in their PE kits, ready to register with their class/form teachers at their normal school registration times. We will then travel by bus to Kwai Chung Sports Ground for the remainder of the school day, aiming to return to DBIS at 3.30pm. Please note that this is slightly later than the normal school day, and appropriate planning should be made to collect your child at this time if needed.
Tung Chung School Bus
Due to the later finish, an additional Tung Chung school bus will be provided, which will leave directly from Kwai Chung Sports Ground and drop the students at their usual destinations. If this affects your child, more detailed information will follow nearer the time.
South Lantau Bus Students
Please note that we will contact the parents of students who usually travel on the South Lantau bus directly, via email.
What to Wear/Bring
Students should dress appropriately for the weather conditions and also bring a packed lunch and a water bottle. Please ensure that students bring a healthy lunch and ample healthy snacks so they are properly fuelled for the events. We ask that ‘fast food’ not be supplied. There are water fountains at the venue for refilling water bottles. All students must bring their DBIS sunhat in and wear sunscreen as appropriate.
Spectators
Your support makes all the difference at events like these, so we welcome those parents who can join us to arrive from 9am. The final events are due to finish at around 2.30pm and will be followed by a short presentation and school photo.
The event programme will be shared at least a week before the event, to provide you with more detailed timings.
We thank you for your support in helping with the smooth running of this event for our Year 5 to 8 students. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Kind regards,
Emily Hull & James Lugg
Director of Sport & Head of PE
