Workout for National Day 2010!

To celebrate our nation's 45th year of independence, East Spring had organized inter-class games for the upper secondary students. Whether it is captain's ball, soccer or basketball, students participated spontaneously.

On 3rd August 2010, every upper secondary class stayed back after school for the preliminary round. Many students on the ground floor were psyched up; some were training hard to get to the semi finals. Everyone seemed to experience different emotions, however, their emotions did not affect their goal, that is, to achieve champion to bring honor back to their class.

When the competition started, everyone gathered at their own courts to play. Those classes waiting nervously for their turn next trained again and again, hoping to win. While those playing, they were sweating as though they were just out of the shower, as well as having injuries. They tolerated the pain; ignore the thoughts of the muscles ache they were going to have, because their mindset was clear, nothing but honor to class.

After the intense match, classes cheering loudly for they had won the match, there are too classes who lost, however, they displayed great sportsmanship. Instead of thinking negatively, classes who had lost thank their opponents with a smile, telling themselves it was a good game. They had played the match to their fullest, nothing is lost, but several things were gained.

Students had gained respect for each other, including those they do not know. Also to display sportsmanship when playing a game. Last but not least, the greatest quality, friendship coming from anywhere.

East Spring is definitely proud to have students displaying these qualities. A job well done East Springians!
