Students and staff supported the Dubai Marathon this weekend, with members of the school taking part in all three events: 3k, 10k and Marathon.  Particularly impressive was the performance of our Primary students who ran in the 3k Fun Race.

Miss Olive completed the 10k race and three of us; Mr Kingsley, Mr Boyle and I competed in the Marathon.  

The day before the event RSB welcomed two outstanding Kenyan runners, Henry Wanyoike and Joseph Kibunja, who spoke to students about overcoming challenges and reaching your goal.  Henry lost his sight at the age of 21 and runs with Joseph as his sighted guide.  They are championship and medal winners at 5k, 10k Half and full Marathon distances.  It was inspiring to listen to them and wonderful to welcome them tothe school.
