FOBISSEA Games

A group of twelve pupils travelled to the FOBBISEA Primary Games in Kuala Lumpur last week.

In addition to winning these medals, each of our pupils were able to make it into the finals of at least one of their events.  The team received a number of very complimentary comments about their behaviour and competitive spirit from parents and principals of other schools. Members of our team were: Ryan Rocastle, Sam Hulls, Kevin Hughes, Melissa Rocastle, Claire Tan, Tseu Min Yee, Tseu Bing Shian, Derek Lawrie, Alex Woi, Randal Low, Kim Jun Hyun and Russell Hodgson.
