Booyah!

As House Captain of Patrick House (aka "the Yellow Fellows") I would like to thank each and every member of the class who contributed to the whole fiasco last week.

First and foremost, to all the athletes who, for the past month and more have been consistently training, pushing themselves to improve, spending hours on end running, sweating out buckets of perspiration and suffering all sorts of injuries in preparation for the day. And then on the days themselves, managed to give it all they got even when faced with all the anxieties of a highly competitive sports meet. Bravo guys.

The emergency support groups like St Jon's and RC have my utmost appreciation, not only for the excellent medical and emotional support they provided but also for their exemplary marching, which im sure left us all quite astounded. It’s nice to know we have you guys looking out for us.

Next up, are the Prefects, wherever they were. Some had to stand out in the scorching heat all day writing down results. Poor fella's look like they came back from a week in Baghdad now. Some others were expected to sit around all day doing nothing but depressing the buttons on their stopwatches. I can’t imagine it was very interesting doing that. Yet others were out serving milo or handling medals. All of you. Great job.

Of course, we wouldn't be anywhere without the dedicated supporters that came to cheer us on, giving us much enthusiasm and motivation. Special thanks to Shaun for not only sticking around the whole two days, but also took it upon himself to go and photograph our proud men in action. There are so many here that did their bit to support us, whether buying us drinks or cheering or saying "good job". It brings tears to my eyes. Thank you.

And last but surely not least, are the proud, resilient, hardworking, longsuffering, underprestiged Scouts, who, for two hard long days, kept everything on the field running. Whether by ferrying hurdles, or raking sand, or doing all the other menial jobs that no one else wanted to (or could for that matter) do. Truly the whole sports day couldn't have even taken place had it not been for the sweat and blood of our scarved friends. HURRA! HURRA for the scouts! (Salute)

Anyways if I’ve missed out any groups feel free to message and ill edit. For now, busy yourselves with thinking of great ideas to make use of the funds we won:D
Till then, peace out.

-Agan.
