Thanks to the recent excellent performance of its students who participated in the second edition of the Streamline Aquatics Limited (SAL) Swim Series held at the Tesano Sports Club, Accra, in which they won a total of 32 medals.

[contextly_sidebar id=”MyNBGGkPrP6RswCtORy2D4xJJkBk3CXL”]The 32 medals helped DPSI Ghana to place second, behind the Roman Ridge School.

About ten schools across the Greater Accra Region participated in the annual swimming series, and the 19-member squad of DPSI Ghana guided by the school’s Games Teacher, Osman Kpakpo Adotey Saka, did their school an honour with their brilliant performance.

It was DPSI Ghana’s first appearance in the series which started in 2016, and with this achievement, authorities of the school are optimistic DPSI will overtake Roman Ridge in the 2018 edition of the SAL swim series.

Speaking about the series, Principal of DPSI Ghana, David Raj, explained that the school had made conscious efforts in recent years in promoting sporting activities among its students.

He said DPSI Ghana has ensured continuously that its students were not only engaged in academic activities, but also extracurricular works such as swimming, dancing and soccer among others.

According to him, “the school is trying to work on what can be done best for our students.”

He further pointed out that, training was being undertaken for students in all sporting activities to ensure that the school also excels in the coming year, saying “what we have achieved so far is just a tip of the iceberg.”

“As a principal, I feel proud and honoured when my children do well in a competition away from the school where they get to compete with other schools,” he said, whilst expressing his joy about the performance.

He said “any initiative taken by us, we always make sure that we work hard for it, and finally want it to be evaluated. So this is one form of evaluation which we do, that is by sending the children, because I strongly believe you can never actually estimate how much they have grown if you keep them at your school and keep having a competition inside.”

Asked what contributed to DPSI’s success in the series, the Games Teacher, who guided his side to secure the second spot, attributed the achievements of his team to the support and motivation from the school authorities, especially its Director and Principal, Mukesh Thakwani and Mr Raj, respectively.

The Black Stars campaign in Brazil was bedeviled by challenges, with the appearance fee row in the lead. Images and videos of Ghanaian players kissing and dancing after millions of dollars was flown to Brazil dominated international media headlines.

The shameful events that occurred in Brazil have incurred the displeasure of many but Sonnie Badu believes that the players deserved every little penny of that amount. He however believes the players should apologize for the manner they handled the situation and move on to winning ways.

That money was due to them!! They worked for it!! Yes the action might be wrong but no smoke without fire! U would do worse ..
