As a class we were interested in the
Olympic Creed. So we explored the part ‘Not to have conquered but to have
fought well’.
Together we came up with some of the qualities
the Olympians would need to fight well:
- Sportsmanship,
- Determination,
- Ability
to push past pain,
- Self motivation,
- Honesty
(Integrity),
- Confidence,
- Willingness to push to your limits,
- To be tough,
- To be
enthusiastic and have that desire to win.
Our Olympians strive to win and to do very
well, this is what matters. They are there to participate and they want to
conquer. We don't believe our Olympians go just to participate, they all have their eyes on the medals. And so they should!
We are proud of our Equestrians and Rowers.
We sympathise with those who struggle and faced challenges like when a paddle
broke for our rowers, bad weather disrupting preparation for a horse, tired
horses, competing against better teams and having to live with the mistakes the umpire makes. However our
Olympians have participated fully, given their all and it is natural to feel
disappointed when things don’t go to plan.
Our
Olympians inspire us to:
-follow our dreams although it will take
effort and might be painful,
-live to our fill potential,
-focus and put in the hard work daily,
-never let age be a barrier to reaching our
dreams.
What goals are you striving for this year? Are you prepared to make it happen?
