National sports day
“If you can Believe it, you can Achieve it.”
We at DPS Vapi have always believed in the holistic development of our students and have encouraged our students to be more enthusiastic, pioneering and participative. We try to bring in greater fondness for games since sports can make an individual lead a fitter and healthier life.
India celebrates National Sports Day on the 29th of August every year. This day is observed to mark the birth anniversary of Major Dhyan Chand, the legendary Hockey player of India. To honour the well-known ‘Hockey Wizard’ also fondly remembered as ‘Hockey Ka Jadugaar’, an assembly and a few special sports events were organized for the students of DPS Vapi.
During the Sports Day assembly, a special interview was arranged with the enactment of Major Dhyan Chand sharing his journey as a hockey player. Our students pledged to incorporate sports into their lives with earnestness and sincerity, to show indebtedness to our national hero. In order to enhance the students’ team building and self- resilience skills, they enthusiastically participated in multiple games with cone rings and tennis balls. Our students displayed their outstanding skills while playing team games like Cricket and Tug of War.
Houses of the school namely – Aquila, Pavo, Cygnus and Tucana, enthralled the spectators with their amazing engagement in the Inter House Table Tennis Competition. Our little sports whizkids learnt how to organise themselves into the teams, take instructions, and win & lose gracefully. These are great life skills that will serve students throughout their academic life as well as further into this competitive world.
