[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]As mentioned last week our students in Secondary School are currently taking part in a unit of athletics and fitness with a strong focus on personal challenge, that is working hard to achieve their best results and performances.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A car will not run if we don\u2019t put fuel in it and that is the same for our bodies. It goes without saying that we cannot expect to perform at our best if we are not adequately prepared and this includes making sure that we are have taken in enough \u2018fuel\u2019 to function both safely and effectively.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It is the nature of Athletics events that you need to work at maximum efforts for short or sometimes longer and more sustained periods of time. It is during these moments that as PE teachers we can often see alarming signs and symptoms in students who have not come to lessons in the right physical condition and in doing so put themselves at risk unnecessarily.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I cannot stress strongly enough the importance of students eating regular and nutritious meals to ensure that they can perform at their best, not just in PE and other physical activities but in the classroom as well. A tired body and brain will not learn as effectively as one that has been properly fueled and ready to have those neurons fire!<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

So please remember to ensure your children are coming to school having eaten something in the morning each day so they can fully capitalise on all the wonderful opportunities that being a part of KIS has to offer.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

SAGA Cup U20\u2019s – Stepping onto the court in a new challenge<\/b><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

At still only 14 years of age Dasha (10K) was presented with a marvelous opportunity to continue challenging herself as a member of the Tuaran U20\u2019s Basketball team competing in the\u00a0 SAGA Cup.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

During the week her team played two matches against Penampang and Putatan. Whilst her side lost the first game to Penampang they bounced back to secure a convincing win against Putatan to qualify for the semi-finals that will take place later this year in December. Great work Dasha, and best of luck in the finals when they roll around.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Liga SupaRimau Season C<\/b>\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

Despite the public holiday, it was a great turnout from our Vipers at their first Liga SupaRimau Season C training session on Thursday evening. In order to avoid lost training time due to poor weather and also free up facilities at school to support other activities, we are trialling holding the training at Suria Indoor Soccer Center located at Jesselton Point. This move was in response to a lot of feedback we have had from parents about wanting more regular training for the players to\u00a0 support their development and ultimately improve their competitiveness in the league. We are confident that by utilising this new facility we continue to see even more progress in our teams\u2019 performances during Season C that will kick off on Saturday 9th September.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\t\t
