For a week, the school transformed into more than just a place for learning—it became a space filled with laughter, teamwork, and the joyful spirit of the Olympic Values Education Programme (OVEP).

The excitement had been building for a week and came together as students engaged in various sporting and academic events. Indoor games like debate, poster designing, chess, badminton, and table tennis weren’t just extra activities—they were opportunities for students to discover new talents and practice focus, patience, and fair play. The intensity and enthusiasm in each competitions reflected the students’ deep engagement.

Outdoor inter-class football and basketball finals brought even more excitement. Students came together as teams, playing with passion and cheering each other on, creating a strong sense of unity in the school. Meanwhile, the debate competition saw teams passionately discussing themes like fair play, perseverance, and respect—showing that OVEP is about opening minds as well as moving bodies.

In the days leading up to the event, skies were gloomy with light rain. But on the final day, the sun appeared just in time for the cross-country marathon. Students ran with determination, their faces glowing with pride. Each step was a reminder of the strength and potential they carry within.

Later, the school hosted the Kids Athletic Meet for students from ECCD to Class VI. The field turned into a playground filled with joy. Children ran, jumped, and played with bright smiles on their faces. Although the events were competitive, the focus was never on winning—it was about having fun, trying your best, and enjoying the moment. Their excitement and laughter reminded everyone of the true meaning of sports.

The celebration didn’t stop there. Around the school, the energy continued with fun activities like archery, and food stalls filled the air with the delicious smell of snacks and sweets. Entertainment programs added to the festive mood, and the entire school community—students, teachers, and parents—came together to celebrate. It was a proud moment for everyone. These two days were not just about games or prizes. They were about learning important values like respect, friendship, and excellence. The smiles, cheers, and determination shown by every student made it clear.

When the time came to distribute prizes, the applause was more than just for the winners. It was for every student who dared to participate, who sweated, stumbled, got back up, and smiled through it all. It was a celebration of effort, of courage, and of the spirit that carried every children through these unforgettable program.

As the sun set and the final echoes of laughter faded, what stayed behind was something deeper. These OVEP program were not just an ending — they were a beginning. A beginning of a new way of thinking. A mindset that values excellence not just in performance, but in attitude. A belief in friendship, not just with others, but with oneself. And above all, a deep respect — for rules, for people, for the journey.

“The Olympic Values Education Programme is not just about sports—it’s about shaping character. It ensures that every child, regardless of background or ability, is given equal opportunity to grow, participate, and shine.” — Principal, Chundu Armed Forces Public School

The day witnessed students who weren’t afraid to fall, who stood tall in front of crowds, who helped others, who smiled despite losing, and who celebrated each other’s success as much as their own. That’s the power of sports. That’s the magic of values. And that’s what Chundu Armed Forces Public School celebrated — not just a program, but a promise. A promise to grow strong, together.
