The annual athletics event of renowned educational institution St. Gregory’s School was held at the school premises at Luxmibazar yesterday.
Swadhin Bangla football team captain Zakaria Pintu graced the occasion as the chief guest. The headmaster of the school, Brother Prodip Placid Gomez, presided over the programme.
During the programme, Pintu urged the students to acquire more knowledge about the Liberation War and the struggle of the freedom fighters to achieve independence.
“Nowadays, it appears to me that the new generation is not properly knowledgeable about the Liberation War. I believe the students of St. Gregory’s School will obtain in-depth knowledge of it and build the country,” said Pintu.
Brother Prodip emphasised upon the importance of sports in addition to studies.
“Without a proper mind, it is not possible to gain knowledge. Sports helps a student to set up the mind in the proper way,” said the headmaster.
Hundreds of students participated in the week-long competition.
