[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Primary FOBISIA Games – KIS Vipers Hothouse Thailand Tour!\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Our Primary FOBISIA Vipers are travelling back from Thailand today after an incredible three days of extremely challenging competitions in swimming, athletics, t-ball and football. They were not only battling some very high level opposition from other schools, but also tough weather conditions with rain and storms frequently causing sudden changes to schedules and events as well as extremely high temperatures.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As I have come to expect from KIS Viper teams, our Primary squad handled everything that was thrown at them with courage, resilience, grace and most importantly without ever losing the smiles from their faces. They were wonderful ambassadors for the school and did themselves, their parents and their coaches proud.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What I love most about coaching our students at these FOBISIA Games, is seeing students constantly take risks and push themselves out of their comfort zone. I love to see the expressions of pure joy, wonder and excitement light up their faces when they put their fears and doubts to rest by achieving new personal best performances and the constant personal growth from completing a challenge that they believed was beyond them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I would like to extend my thanks to the phenomenal staff of Mr Shaw, Ms Goldie and Mrs Schrijver who ensured that the Vipers were so well taken care of throughout the trip and that the students never lacked for support and encouragement or someone to remind them 50 times a day if they had their water bottle! I would also like to acknowledge the excellent efforts of Mrs Clifford for all the great work she did in the lead up to the trip. Her expert coaching and guidance certainly helped our Vipers obtain some outstanding results and performance in the athletics.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Many thanks to our travelling support team of parents who were always so full of cheer and praise for their efforts as well on the sidelines! I will have to add getting Viper Supporters Shirts made up for next year!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\t\t
