teamNLCS By Jamie Williams It has been an actioned packed term for TeamNLCS! We have been back out on the sports field taking part in a wide variety of sporting events across Dubai. Starting with netball. The U12, U14 and U16s Senior Girls teams have played weekly fixtures against some well-established and very competitive schools, here in Dubai. Our students showed amazing sportsmanship and netball ability. All three teams were fantastic both on and off court and we are excited to see them further improve next season. A huge well done! Moving onto football. Our U12 boys football team played their socks off and after already securing a triumphant win against Jumeirah College back in Term One, they gave Jumeirah College another challenging match and successfully won the match 2-0 in a friendly fixture in March. This is one team to watch out for in the next academic year. Then we have athletics. Our Junior and Senior Athletics Teams both took part in the annual DASSA Athletics meet at Sports City on March 17th. Many records were broken by NLCS students in events such as long jump, javelin and running events. A large majority of our students gained a new personal best on the day of the event and we would like to congratulate them on their efforts and achievements. We can’t wait to see what your athletics future holds. We also competed in several swimming galas this term. Our Junior School Swim Squad finished second in the league beating Kings Al Barsha and Gems Wellington. It was a hugely competitive gala as all five schools had put in the training and some races were extremely close. So, NLCS Dubai did amazingly well to come in second place. A special mention goes to Asjad and Sonny who were phenomenal at the gala, winning all their races.
