Sports Day Results Finally the wait is over! After careful scorekeeping from the teachers and final calculations from Master O'Neill, we found out the winners of our Sports Week today! The anticipation over the past week has been building and the children waited eagerly to hear their team score. With just a point to win and take the cup the Yellow team seized the day and erupted in celebration as they claimed the Master Morgan Cup.
