Dear mr healy 


Having an interschool once a month would be a really good thing to look forward to and working towards having four different schools to compete with and make friends with would be a good idea you could compete against one school one month and another the next month. people also play sports for the competitive side of it which will be very competitive with all the different sports being played.


Kids sign up for more sports that they may not know and want to give it try like badminton, softball ,table tennis, volleyball, squash and much more. They can also develop skills for sports they may already be playing.


There can be four different schools in the competition playing all once one every term and there can be one finally for the two teams that win the most sports.


It will be something to look forward to and practise towards you will also be getting fitter because of all the trials at school and preparing for the day.


In conclusion I believe that having an interschool once a term will benefit you and be a really good thing to be a part of.
