“What can be learned in the playground cannot be learned in the
classroom”. It’s a very catchy proverb that confirms the importance of sports
like Arnis in contributing to the holistic wellbeing of a pupil athlete. Pupils
need to develop a sound body and mind as well as shaping the pupil athlete’s
personality and their love of culture.
