This weekend is our Sailfish Spring swim meet which will be conducted over two days, Saturday April 27 (8am-4:45pm) and on Sunday April 28 (8:30am until 1pm). We wish all Sailfish swimmers the very best for this final big competition of the school year. Approximately 15 swim teams including the Hong Kong Stingrays swim team will be joining our meet. Best wishes to all and a big thanks to the Sailfish Coaches and event support staff for your help in ensuring we have a successful meet this weekend. 

Another Sailfish event coming up soon is the Aquathon on May 11. Contact Coach Betty for more information. The registration form will be on the Sailfish website soon.

Sailfish swim squads will have their last day of training on Tuesday May 28th and that evening will be their end of year awards banquet at the ES gym. 

May 10-12 a group of dedicated MS girls touch players will travel to Jakarta to compete in the annual MS Touch Invitational. This event is making a comeback after the pandemic and is an event we previously attended annually each year in Jakarta. Our team has been training hard twice per week under the guidance of Coach Fiebig and Coach Rara. We wish the team all the best as they prepare for this event.

Another big returnee event coming up on May 18th is the ISM Goodwill Gymnastics Competition. Our marquee gymnastics event of the school year is making a return after the pandemic and this is sure to be a highlight event for our gymnasts and coaches. Approximately 160 gymnasts will compete on Sat May 18th. Our MS gym will be the venue for this event and teams will prepare on Friday afternoon with an open warm up session and then compete in the various levels of competition for both girls and boys apparatus events on Saturday. Awarding ceremonies after each level session is completed will take place in the ES gym.

Good luck to all gymnasts, coaches and support staff. We are looking forward to the return of the Goodwill meet to our annual calendar of events.
