AIMED at promoting Physical Education within its school curriculum, the Redeemer Primary School yesterday commissioned a spanking new outdoor volleyball court. The official commissioning was done by retired Headmistress of the Redeemer Primary School and Minister of Social Cohesion Amna Ally.
Ally, who served as headmistress for nearly ten years before her retirement in July 2010 ,told the gathering that sport contributes significantly to physical health, adding that sport can foster teamwork, strong body and healthy mind.
Ally also acknowledged that with the availability of the Volleyball Court, students can now interact more together in order to achieve a common goal, which is to promote sportsmanship.
She urged the students to make full use of the Court, since the government will work to ensure that the education system is effectively structured which will promote national unity, togetherness and solidarity.
Also making brief remarks was D.E.O Primary, Adrian Elgin, who mentioned that sport should be included in each school curriculum.
With this in mind, Elgin pointed out that Education without Sport is incomplete.
The school organised a well-planned programme, where students displayed their techniques in dancing, poetry and singing.
The Volleyball Court was made possible through National Hardware and GAICO Engineering. (Rajiv Bisnauth)
