The school race day was held in place of the traditional school carnival, which was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The school’s alternate program incorporated social distancing, allowing students to compete in races safely in groups of less than 20 at a time, rather than compete in their sports groups.
LIS Principal, Gregory Neville, said the school was fortunate to have Nelson Stone, retired PNG 2012 Summer Olympian run training drills in preparation for the school’s race day.
