This year’s theme for the games department is one of ‘climbing mountains’.The games department kept that in mind when they were selecting names for the various teams this year. Our school has a tradition of giving names to the four teams we usually have every year. Being a Christian school we try to center all of our activities in such a way that our children are in a constant learning motion about the Bible. Therefore we keep a close link between the team names and the various areas in the Bible. In 2009 we had teams being named after great men in the bible (we had Moses Team, Samson Team, David Team, Solomon Team). Samson were crowned as the champions in 2009, (indeed Samson was a great man in the Bible as he conquered the philistines after a long struggle and he was indeed a winner). In 2010 the theme was towns in the Bible (we had Galilee team, Judea Team, Canaan Team and Samaria team) Galilee Was crowned the champions, (Galilee was a place full of miracles as this was the town where Jesus performed his first miracle-Cana of Galilee- and also in lake Galilee/Tiberias is where Jesus Walked on water. All these are lessons learned by the various teams. 2011, the year for facing the mountains we have Carmel Team (named after Mt. Carmel), Olive Team (named after Mt. Olive), Sinai team (named after Mt Sinai). Zion Team (named after Mt Zion).
Lets wait and see what this department has in store for us this year.
