Peicai Sports Day 2025
Peicai Sports Day 2025
The Secondary 1 The glowing morning sun at Serangoon stadium provided a sense of vibrance and anticipation to this year’s edition of Peicai Sports Day.
Aimed not just to build the physical fitness and mental resilience of our students, the exposure to athletics meant that students’ knowledge to a range of sporting events both as an actual running participant as well as an audience member, is widened. On top of it all, Peicai Sports Day fosters a healthy competitive sporting culture, that serves to strengthen class and school spirit. With HOD PE CCA Mr Alvin Yeo covering commentary alongside Student Council EXCO’s Isaac Hoon Mirante, the event looks set to come alive!

The turning point between friends (from left to right): Aiman, Fareez and Ilhami) |
There were quite a few storied rivalries on the track in this year’s edition. One of these, was the clash amongst best friends; Muhd Ilhami, Kasyful Fareez and Aiman was one of the must-see competitions in the 200 meters upper secondary boys event.
Finishing first, second and fourth respectively in 2023, they were hoping to upstage one another, given this opportunity at the newly-renovated Serangoon track. Ilhami though, had other ideas, as he blitzed through the curve in first place, and never looked back, taking down Nikhil Jayden’s 2023 record by 0.17 seconds, touching the finish line at 25.61 seconds, properly cementing his legacy as the fastest-ever 200m runner in Peicai, holding both the lower and upper secondary category records.

Another rivalry that continued this year was the challenge of Samantha Sonya against Lola Jane Wilkinson, also in the 200 meters event. Both student athletes were neck-and-neck at the 150th meter mark, and it was only in the last 40-50 meters that Lola peeled away to score a win against her rival, who is 1-year younger than Lola.

Mr Edwin Kwek (in red) takes the gold home, with Mr Seoh Soon Peng (in black) just a couple of meters behind |
The emergence of the parents’ team in the staff-parents race cannot be underestimated, as both parents’ team started off very well and PSG (Parents Support Group) Team A was holding a commanding lead all the way till the anchor leg. Alas, they were chased down by hot favourites, the Science Department, led by HOD Science Mr Edwin Kwek, who managed to cut down the 40-meter deficit to score a win once again.

Our Principal, Mr Michael then capped off the wonderful event by applauding the efforts of the various classes in bringing up class spirit by cheering on their classmates with poms-poms, support placards and even banner flags of their classes.
We look forward to the next edition in 2026!
