Speaking at the occasion, principal of the school, Mr Ojeamiren Reuben, said the inter-house sports competition have become part of the school activity which is designed to complement the intellectual, spiritual and social values of the students.

He stated that the school is known for its lofty achievement and have won many laurels such as the first Kenneth Imasuagbon football competition for secondary schools in the past.
‘’So far, we have discovered talents which in my humble opinion will undoubtedly meet international standards and if given the necessary attention will end up as Olympic champions’’ he said.
The school principal while expressing concern over poor performance in recent sport events called on parents and stake-holders to support the development of sport in the school in order to restore the lost glory of the school in sporting activitities.
Also speaking, the chairman of Kwali Area council, Joseph K. Shazin, represented by education secretary of the council, Mr. Danlami Kakatsu, commended the school for organising the inter-house sports competition, noting that the competition would no doubt go a long way in enhancing the talent and physical fitness of the students.
