SIBU: About 100 athletes who competed at SMK Sibu Jaya annual sports meet at Tun Zaidi Stadium here on Wednesday were reminded the importance of keeping fit and healthy through sports.

The school’s parent-teacher association chairman Danggang Ugik who officiated at the opening ceremony said it was imperative that students strike a balance between their academic performance and engagement in sports.

He said good health was a prerequisite to achieving almost anything in life.

The sports meet, he said, would identify outstanding athletes from the school for larger scale meets in the future.

The athletes were grouped into six houses, namely Rumah Kenyalang, Rumah Rajawali, Rumah Cenderawasih, Rumah Merak, Rumah Merpati and Rumah Kenari.

School principal Mohamed Nor Junoh was also present.
