Tigers Sport Roars Forward at TIS!

2010-2011 is going to be a great year for sport at TIS! This year we will have a new part-time Athletic Director (Mr Nick Fundytus) and full-time Athletic Coordinator (Mr Terry Iu) at the school, and many specialist coaches.

A new dedicated TIS sports homepage has been developed, where parents and students can find information on teams, fees and practice days. Most of the TIS tournament and team sports are for Grades 4-12.

The athletics department will create a system of intermurals for students too young to play on tournament teams.

The programme has 12 confirmed teams, with coaches, and several more to be arranged in the coming months. Team members may have the opportunity to play in tournaments in Hong Kong, China and Mongolia, as TIS is now a full member of the ACAMIS organization of international schools.

An information night will be held for parents on 16 September in the MPR.

Below is a list of confirmed teams for the school year. The TIS Tigers want to encourage and grow a culture of sport in the school, and encourage all students to try out for sport at TIS! Go Tigers!
