Regional Chairman Junior Basant on Friday encouraged the students of Berbice High School to uphold good sportsmanship as the institution kicked off its Inter-House Athletics Championship.
Basant, a former student of the Berbice High School, during his address to the students, expressed pride in being a former student of the institution.
“I am a proud student of this school. Once, I was in your position doing the very same thing, and those are memories that live with me to this day. I don’t want to sound biased, but I was a Cooper House student, and back in those days, Cooper used to run things,” he said, “and I’m sure it will be the same at the end of today.”
As he declared the championships open, he called for good sportsmanship and an incident-free day.
“Nevertheless, I wish all of you the very best in today’s activities. What you are creating here today will become core memories, something that will live with you for years to come, something you’ll tell your children and family about in the future. So, make the most of it. Ensure that you have good, clean fun, and uphold the spirit of sportsmanship that is expected of you.”
He also commended the Education Ministry for its continued efforts to promote sports in schools.
