Announcements 03: Get Ready for PYP Falcons Days at IPS!

Dear IPS KG1 & KG2 Families,

At IPS, we are dedicated to providing our students with the best sporting experiences in a safe and well-organized environment, and we are thrilled to announce the upcoming Falcons Days! Falcons Day, also known as Sports Day, is one of our major events where we celebrate the spirit of competition among our students in their house teams. It’s a day filled with excitement, teamwork, and school pride!

The KG1 & KG2 Falcons Days will take place on Tuesday December 10th,  from 7:45 - 10:20 am. 

Please note that Falcons Day is a student-only event, and unfortunately, parents will not be able to attend due to logistical reasons.

Additionally, the Falcons Day will be designed as family-zone event types, with male PE teachers supporting the rest of the KG team to ensure an outstanding and memorable experience for the students.

To ensure that students are prepared for an active and enjoyable day, please make sure your child brings:

• A filled water bottle
• A packed snack
• A hat for sun protection
• A plain-colored T-shirt in their house color
• Suitable trainers

After Falcons Day activities conclude, students will resume their regular school schedule for the rest of the day.

Thank you for your support in helping us make Falcons Days a memorable experience for our students. We look forward to cheering on our Falcons together!

Warm regards,

IPS PE Department
