“As educators we are also childcare practitioners who have a responsibility to safeguard and promote the welfare of our children. Our approach is fully child centered.”
CMR had received some complaints about why the event was going forward.
The Inter-Primary Track and Field Championships is a culmination of all local primary schools (government and private) competing in a variety of athletic games.
