Udupi, Oct 15: Mount Rosary English Medium School organised zonal level higher primary school sports meet.

The Perdoor zonal level sports meet was jointly organised by the department of school education and literacy, Brahmavar zonal education office and Mount Rosary English Medium School.

Oliver Nazareth received the honour in the march-past by the athletes of eleven schools in Perdoor.

Brahmavar Taluk physical education officer, Jagadish, lit the sports torch, inspired the athletes, and congratulated the organisers for the efficient arrangement.

Fr Rock D’Souza, head priest of Mount Rosary Church, in his inaugural note said, “We often criticise the country's achievements as inadequate by looking at the medal tally of events like the Olympics or any other sports competition. However, it is rare for parents, teachers, or society to encourage sports from a young age. The hundreds of athletes who have won prestigious honours such as Bharat Ratna, Khel Ratna, and Padma awards after building a bright future through sports should serve as role models for us. Our approach is often limited to scoring marks and securing jobs, but a successful future can also be built through sports achievements.”

Track and field events were held at the Milagres Educational Institutions' ground in Kallianpur, where the participants showcased their skills and won medals. The first-place winners were selected for the taluk-level sports meet.

Sr Ancilla Roshni D’Mello, principal, welcomed the gathering and Anitha, physical education teacher delivered the vote of thanks. Ashok Chitrapady was the master of ceremony.

Principal of Milagres College Kallianpura Dr Vincent Alva, Vijayakumar Shetty, Ashok K, Luke D’Souza, Rohitaksh, Prasanna Kumar, Nagaraj, and Rathna were present on the occasion.
