The School of Pharmacy
Annual Sports Day was held on 1st November 2015 at Sports Complex,
Taylors University Lakeside. Registration took place at 8.30a.m. where the students were divided and arranged
according to their respective teams. A speech was given by lecturer Dr.Bibhu
Prasad which marked the official opening of the event.
At 9.05a.m, a warm-up
session was conducted to prepare the participants for the marathon run. The
total distance for the run is 3 kilometres which is approximately equal to 2
rounds around the campus. The marathon run was supposed to start at 9.20a.m.but
it got delayed due to some unforeseen circumstances caused by miscommunication
with security department. The problem was solved and the marathon run started
at 9.35a.m. The participants who got into Top 3 in completing the run were
rewarded 50 points for their respective team. Top 4 to Top 10 were rewarded 30
points while 10 points were rewarded to the rest of participants who completed
the race.
Breakfast comprised of
meehoon, a piece of curry puff and drink was provided to the participants after
they have completed the run. The
participants were given 30 minutes of break. Next activity was aerobics
performances. Each team was required to select a song and perform the aerobics.
The participants were good in performing and put in a lot of effort in
arranging the performance. It was nice to see how the solid teamwork had made
the teams to be even stronger and united.
At 11.10a.m., dodge ball
and captain ball matches were carried out simultaneously at two different
courts. Team Red and Green competed in dodge ball match while Team Blue and
Team Yellow competed in captain ball match. After 3 consecutive matches, the
teams swapped and played. It was honourable to see lecturers who played along
with the participants. Their participation had proven the true underlying
sportsmanship. All the teams became competitive to get points for their own respective
team. The Dean of School of Pharmacy, Prof Thomas came to support despite his
busy schedules. He gave words of motivations to the participants which was
indeed inspiring.
After the matches, lunch
was provided. Participants were given 30 minutes break. After the break,
stations game were carried out which were Newspaper Mummy, Balloon Games and
Three-legged race. Everyone had fun in playing the stations game. Next activity
on the list was Running Man. The concept of this game is purely based on the Korean
variety show which one team will be the hunter team while another team will be
the searcher team. Before each team got to decide their roles, they need to
play a preliminary game which was Ping Pong Stacking. Each team sent a
representative to complete with each other. The fastest person to complete the
mission would be given the upper hand to choose the role they wanted for their
team, either as the hunters or as the searchers.
Team Red and Team Green
competed with each other and their location was at Block D( from Level 2 to
Level 9).Team Red were the searchers while Team Green were the hunters. On the
other hand, Team Blue and Team Yellow competed with each other and their
location were at Block E(from Level 2 to Level 9). Team Blue were the searchers
while Team Yellow were the hunters. It was entertaining to watch how the
participants were so enthusiastic in completing their tasks in Running Man.
Running Man ended at
3.15p.m. The last event of the day was the prize-giving session. After all the
accumulation of points, Team Red came up as champion. Team Yellow got second
place followed by Team Green with third place. Team Blue got fourth place.
There were medals and prizes allocated for each team. A lucky draw session was
conducted and 10 lucky participants were selected. Token of appreciations were
given to the Dean of School of Pharmacy, Prof.Thomas and other lecturers who
came for the event.
Overall, this event was
successful due to the overwhelming supports from the lecturers and students. A
total of 67 students and 7 lecturers took part in this event. There were minor
circumstances that happened during the event but those problems were solved. It
was indeed a tiring day but everyone was happy and had fun.
