Jan Möhr's biggest annual athletic event took place in early February, with a number of schools competing against each other. This year's athletic day took place on a sunny Thursday morning filled with plenty of sportsmanship, competition and good vibes.

What do you get when you combine three schools and a tonne of competition? Breathtaking entrances of fancy cars and performances by the white, blue, and orange teams, which represent our beautiful school colours.

The day offered a perfect opportunity for athletes to show off their skills and prove that they had what it took.

Sporting categories included discus throw, javelin, running 100 m to 1500 m, shot put, high and long jump, relay, and others.

Proud tradition

The learners were split into three teams, each singing songs to motivate their representatives and gain points for their group.

This has been a long-standing tradition at our school, and learners were proud to take part in it.

The most exciting event, however, was the closing ceremony, where all the houses came together to find out who the overall interhouse champions were.

The orange team grabbed the award for the loudest and most exhilarating sing-alongs, but the highlight of the day was when the blue team snagged the biggest trophy for their amazing performance featuring remarkable dancers.

After an exciting day at the athletic track, the school's sports day came to an end.

The learners had a great time with some amazing entertainment and refreshments.

We witnessed the world's fastest learners and teachers competing against each other in a variety of events, but, most importantly, we saw learners having fun and enjoying the spirit of togetherness.
