“The contingent to the WSG is 22 pupils and they competed in all events of the competition winning gold, silver and bronze medals.

“We participated in football, athletics (track and fields) and swimming. Our kids really performed creditably well. They will be received by top officials of the school,” Rhodes said.

She said that the school emerged winner for the third time in a row of the competition with 140 points.
