Martial House would also like to congratulate De La Salle School & Gongshang Primary School for bringing home the Junior Boys Overall Champion & Senior Boys Overall 2nd Runner-Up titles! These achievements would not be possible without the hard work and dedication of our athletes and coaches! Not forgetting the overwhelming support from the teachers, parents and alumni who were present during the competition to help our athletes to do their make-up, style their hair, look after their well-being, cheer for them, etc. Without the support from the Martial House family, the athletes would not be able to focus and perform during the competition at ease! A big thank you to all the heroes behind-the-scene who made everything possible! Now that the primary school competition is over, let’s wish the athletes who are participating in the 12th National School Games Wushu Championships 2016 the very best which has commenced today at Chung Cheng High School (Main)!
