Geckos, Cobras and Tigers do battle in GIS annual sports day

The Garden International School, located in Ban Chang, recently held their annual inter-house sports day. Students and teachers were divided into three teams. The Geckos in green, Cobras in Blue and the Tigers in Red. The three teams battled it out for the title of Inter-house Champions for 2002.

UNICEF Ambassador for Thailand Anand Panyarachun enjoyed the day with his friends.

Track and field events such 50 meter, 100 meter and 200 meter races were held with the same distances also including relays races, high jump, and standing long jump. There were also fun events as well.

A cobra leads the relay race.

The fun events included egg and spoon races, water carrying, hockey ball races and a slow bike race event.

Special visitor on the day was Anand Panyarachun, Thailand’s Ambassador for UNICEF, who is also on the board of directors for the school. Anand took time out from his busy schedule to visit the school and interact with some of the students.

We still have a chance! Time to turn on the afterburners.

The remaining day’s competition was fierce, with the Gecko’s taking top spot, squeaking by the second place slithering Cobras, as the Tigers tailed behind in third place.

All who participated and all who supported had a great day.
