It was a great day on Friday as the Red Beach School Olympics were held, the first time in 4 years.
It started of with a great opening ceremony, as the countries, Australia, Fiji, Ghana, Italy, Japan, our very own New Zealand, Samoa and China paraded through the corridor and onto the stage. Next was a speech from Olympian and Red Beach School parent Mark Scheib. “It was great experience at those games” he said. After that came the arrival of the Sydney 2000 Olympic Torch and the RBS torch followed by the Olympic flag. A speech finished off the ceremony with Red Beach School students, Amber and Sarah declaring the games open.
Next came the sports including Basketball, Soccer, ‘Putting’ the gumboot, Shot Put and Archery. The countries put in their best efforts to try achieve their goals of Olympic Glory. The sports went on for the entire day, only to be stopped for the closing ceremony.
The closing ceremony finished off these Great Games. First up another Olympian and proud Red Beach School parent Mr. Gus Nkeita spoke about the Olympics and how well they had done. Next up was the medal ceremony with each country at least getting 1 medal. Lastly Mr. Nkeita and Ms Martin closed the games.
At the end of the games Samoan Athlete and Red Beach Student Neil Lindsay said “I put a lot of effort into this and I’m glad I actually got through this day!”
