Teenager’s honesty is what sports can teach, says Heng

Dear children,

Click here to read an article on how Dunman High School (DHS) student Lee Tai Yu displayed honesty and integirty during a National Inter-School Badminton Championships match. His exemplary behaviour is commended by our Minister for Education Heng Swee Keat and he is indeed a role model for us to follow.

Here is my favourite excerpt from the article:
“Sports develop character and values, cultivate positive attitudes and strengthen people skills ... In my view, the most valuable trait that sports develop is grit. Grit is more than resilience. When a student has grit, he is passionate about a long term goal and perseveres towards it."

This article also ties in with our Stellar Unit Late but not Last. Let us be reminded of the commendable qualities these sportsmen displayed, be inspired by their resolve, and learn from them.

Love,
Miss Lee
