PLAY BALL!!

CDNIS will be stepping up to the plate with a team of 13 boys to Singapore and 13 girls to Myanmar to compete in the annual SEASAC Softball Competition this weekend March 22-24, 2019. We wish the softball team success before they “bring it on home.”

Just over the pond in Singapore, our Girls and Boys Badminton teams will be “baddying it up” at UWC East against teams from all over South East Asia.

Some of the strongest athletes at CDNIS will also be traveling to Bangkok, Thailand to compete in the Senior Gymnastics event at NIST. We hope the 5 strong and fierce ladies a successful weekend.

This year CDNIS took  18 students from Grades 8-12 to Bangkok, Thailand at Harrow International School to compete in the Annual SEASAC MUN Competition. All delegates represented our school well and contributed to high levels of debate over the three days. Throughout the weekend resolutions were debated on issues ranging from affirming the universal rights of religious minorities, to tackling government corruption and the abuse of politics. Our delegates were well prepared and dominated many ways thanks to our teacher leaders, Stephen Smeed and Anne Boyle.

The SEASAC Swimming team had a great swimming weekend with lots of medals and personal best swims. Thank you to coaches Darren McHugh, Tracie Liu, and Braedon Sharp who spends many early mornings and afternoons getting the team prepared for this event. Here are some of the results from this weekend.

The 2018 Cross Country team ran hard and pushed themselves during this year’s SEASAC competition in Kuala Lumpur. Facing a challenging course with slippery conditions and humid weather, the students persevered against some tough competition. The boys team came in 5th place overall and remained strong during the relay race, securing and holding their position throughout. The girls team made an impressive gain from 9th to 5th place in the relay race, showing their determination and grit. Many of our students made impressive gains from their times last year, achieving personal bests.

Individual achievements in the 5 km race include:

Harmony Pang 12th (out of 59)                    Time: 23.28.75
Hanna Fung  25th (out of 59)                       Time: 25.33.45
