This is a new section for the monthly P.E. update. This section will be for celebrating sporting success outside of school. So if your child does well in any sporting events (rugby, tae kwon do, golf, etc.) please email me at timothy.teahan@bhs.edu.hk and I will include it in this section. If you also have a photo I will also try and include it as well (space and size permitting!).
