      Totally agreeing with you Rod.
      It has become tooo serious, that the fun times we enjoyed years ago is no more. I remember going to sports all day and the place is JAM PACK, persons had to find a good view in the tamrind tree trunks on the field. But oh well, things have modernized I guess. Very talented athletes out there though...

    Parents, a day like today might look like a small thing but if the family can go to sports together, it could be excellent moral support.
    Many good athletes roam the streets and all corners of the BVI on Sports day. For some students, it is an ideal day to get in trouble with all kind of immoral behaviours.
    We need to work on this.
    God, help us. Please help us! Please keep our children safe.
