St George’s International School participated in the U13 age group COBIS Games in Dubai last week; the team of 14 athletes - 7 boys and 7 girls - competed against 19 other international schools from around the world in swimming, athletics and football.
Despite facing some very talented opposition, the St George’s students performed admirably with the girls captain winning gold and silver medals in the shot and discus events respectively, and another of St George’s athletes winning a bronze medal in the high jump. The boys won the tier 2 football final with their captain scoring 7 goals in the competition.
The St George’s team were announced as finishing in 8th place overall and were voted the most sporting team by their opponents to receive the COBIS Games Fair Play Trophy. Well done team!
