Vibrant Annual Sports Meet at St Ann’s College of Education
Mangaluru: The B.Ed students of St Ann’s College of Education (Autonomous) gathered with great ardour and enthusiasm to witness the Annual Sports Event. Kavitha Sanil, Mayor, Mangaluru City Corporation, inaugurated the Sports Meet. Addressing the students at the inauguration programme, Mayor Kavitha articulated that one needs to aim high in order to achieve much. All of us possess at least one talent within us which is to be endured. To become good teachers and train the future citizens, one needs to imbibe good qualities from sports like fitness, psychological and emotional fitness and many more so as to flourish well in the teaching profession. Small changes in habits can lead to lasting, permanent change, so think “tiny steps” when incorporating exercise into your life.
Our education system must recognize the importance of engaging children in sports. Since children spend most of their day in schools, a pro-active approach towards promoting sports in schools can kindle their interest and inspire them to go further. She also appreciated the eminence and splendor of all the groups in the sports event.
