School Principal, Mike Walton added: “The FOBISIA Games is just one of many events at which students and their teachers have put in the extra time, effort and training to achieve and surpass their goals. We teach our students a famous quote from Kurt Haan, ‘There is more in you than you think’, and this year’s U15 Regents team have certainly proved that. Well done to them all!”
