Team Effort

Here are the results (those who came in top ten) of the National Inter-School Shooting Championships.

In the Rifle B Girls Division, Shuet Hwei came in 4th.

Our Rifle C Boys Team came in 8th.

In the Rifle C Girls Division, Martina won the silver medal; Adele came in 6th and Catherine 10th. Their combined score won them the silver medal in the team event.

In the Pistol B Girls Division, Clarissa came in 9th.

Our Pistol C Boys Team came in 6th.

In the Pistol C Girls Division, Fion won a bronze medal and Sheryl came in 5th. Together with their teammate, Shannon, they managed to win the team title.

In shooting, the shooter himself faces the target and the shooter himself squeezes the trigger. However, the shooter cannot by himself achieve excellence, he needs a team. A good team to plan training and provide coaching, to offer encouragement and provide moral support, and especially to show care and concern when things are not going his way.

Hence, on behalf of the shooters, I would like to thank the parents, the school management, the boarding staff, the teachers, the mentors, the sports scientists and the coaches. Thank you.
