How can a night volleyball tournament played between 21.30 and 2.45am increase the learning at VRG?

For some students, they get the opportunity to be leaders with the practical experience of organizing and implementing a large event. For others, it is the opportunity to practice what they have learned in sports class. For most of us, it is a way to build a strong school culture – where we value each other’s efforts, like to have fun, work together as a team, and play to win.

Thanks School Sports Committee and Sports teachers for organizing and supporting such a great school event!
