According to Teacher at the Gingerland Secondary school, Joseph Morton, the hosting of the first EVENTS DAY, for the school, had three major objectives in mind:
- To get the events completed in a more competitive atmosphere and shared with the general public-away from the school’s premises
- It also served as an unofficial dress up day for the children
- It was also a fund raiser for the school, as lunch was served at a mere cost of $10.00
The event was held at the newly renovated Hard Times playing field, on Thursday 15th February and several exciting contests were completed between the athletes, in three different areas:
- Shot put
- Long jump
- High jump
There was musical entertainment provided throughout the day, complements of the school’s DJ and members of the general public showed their support throughout.
The top results were as follows:
