Co-curricular Activities: Bridge Nigeria to hold Inter-Academy Sports

Across all the five regions where Bridge Nigeria schools are located which include Alimosho, Ojo/Badagry, Lekki/Epe, Ikorodu and Osun, Bridge pupils are gearing up for their Inter-Academy Sports Competition.

The event which promises to be colourful and exciting is aligned with one of Bridge School’s philosophies which promotes not just academic laurels but also building leaders via extra-curricular activities.

The Managing Director, Foyinsola Akinjayeju noted: “We believe it is important for children to have a holistic education and that education is best when it combines the pursuit of academic excellence with the development of character.

“This is why we are intentional about our co-curricular activities, and a good reason our pupils are excelling inside–and outside–the classroom. This year’s Inter-Academy Sports Competition is another opportunity to reward pupils that have developed their competencies in sports and demonstrated sportsmanship.”

During the Inter-Academy Sports Competition, Bridge pupils will demonstrate their prowess in marching to beat, sack-race, short and long races and other sports which help imbibe qualities including punctuality, alertness and fitness.

The Director of Schools, Omotola Francis-Akinlolu added: “As part of our preparation for the event, we have made provisions for health, safety, security, and a conducive environment for parents and children across the different regions the Inter-Academy Sports Competition will take place.

“A lot of work has gone into ensuring that our over 7,000 pupils and their parents have a rewarding time during the Inter-Academy sports competition. We are also in talks with brands who intend to sponsor and provide pupils with lots of goodies.”
