The Learning Curve

At Mougins School, sport is more than just physical activity; it’s a celebration of teamwork, perseverance, and community. Our Secondary students play a vital role in carrying this spirit forward, with events that foster camaraderie and showcase their talents on and off the field.

 

Inter-House Basketball: A Thrilling Start to Senior Sport

On Thursday, September 26th, our first Senior Inter-House Basketball Match set the tone for an exciting year of sports. Students from all four houses, Picasso, Chagall, Matisse, and Renoir, came together in a thrilling competition. Each game was filled with fast-paced action, impressive plays, and incredible teamwork.

The green team, Renoir, and the yellow team, Chagall, emerged victorious in their initial matches, setting the stage for a nail-biting final. Both teams played with determination and skill, but Renoir managed to clinch the win with four decisive points in the last two minutes. Congratulations to Renoir for their outstanding performance!

This event was more than just a game; it highlighted the unity and enthusiasm that sports bring to our community. A special thank you goes to the House Captains, whose leadership and encouragement ensured a high level of participation and sportsmanship.
