Two Schools Combine to Host First Inter-House Sports Meet

In an historic collaboration, the Gordon and Walcott Memorial Methodist School and the Mon Du Don Government Primary School united to host their inaugural Inter-House Sports Meet at the iconic Mindoo Phillip Park on January 22.

Despite a morning of threatening showers, the event emerged into a vibrant showcase of athletic talent. The atmosphere was electric as athletes gathered, energized by motivational speeches and an inspiring March Pass, signaling the beginning of intense competition.

The event featured three age categories: Under 9, Under 11, and Under 13, each bringing out the best in every competitor. Physical Education teachers Dean Nestor (MDDGPS) and Torri Hippolyte (GWMMS) emphasized that this merger was not only necessary but transformative. “We trained rigorously, overcame challenges, and proudly kicked off the athletic season. The competition was fierce, and our athletes performed phenomenally,” they stated.

With the first hurdle successfully cleared, both schools are now laser-focused on the upcoming District II Sports Meet in March. Although they will compete separately, the determination to win is palpable.

Camille Henry Memorial School has dominated in recent years, but both schools are poised to end that streak.
