On Friday, January 17, CDSC once again took part in the Junior Track & Field athletics competition at PTIS. And with considerable success! 25 athletes competed in various disciplines against nine other schools from the CMAC network and really gave their all. Even if not everyone made it onto the winners’ podium, everyone can be proud of themselves and their performance. The volunteers and parents also gave the children excellent support. Many thanks for this!

  • CDSC finished 5th overall.
