A Day of Energy and Excitement

Surabaya European School (SES) recently held its annual Athletics Day, a much-anticipated event that brought together students, teachers, and parents for a celebration of fitness, teamwork, and fun. The school grounds were filled with energy as students from different year levels participated in a variety of athletic challenges designed to test their strength, speed, and endurance.

Inclusive Activities for All Ages

From traditional races to creative team relays, every activity was carefully planned to ensure all students could join in and shine in their own way. Younger children enthusiastically ran short-distance sprints, while older students took part in long-distance runs, tug of war, and obstacle courses. The mix of competitive and playful games created a lively atmosphere where every child felt included and encouraged.

Sportsmanship and Team Spirit

Beyond the competition, Athletics Day was about building character and promoting core values such as respect, resilience, and teamwork. Students cheered one another on, celebrated victories, and showed grace in challenges. The sense of community was clear, with parents and staff applauding every effort and milestone.

A Memorable Community Event

The highlight of the day was the closing ceremony, where participants were recognised for their achievements and sportsmanship. Instead of focusing solely on winning, the event emphasised effort, perseverance, and the joy of taking part.

Athletics Day at SES was more than just a sports event—it was a celebration of togetherness, growth, and healthy living. It reflected the school’s commitment to nurturing well-rounded individuals who value both personal success and collective spirit.
