7 years of Polytechnic-ITE Archery Championships

"Play your best, God takes care of the lesson plan, you, take care of the learning! Aim from the heart, shoot for the stars. Each of your journeys ahead are as unique as the arrow holes we make on the target face, there is no cause to compare... same, same, but just a little different!" 🎯

Thank you to the dedicated people behind each competition outing; as we mark another milestone in our sporting journey, blessings to all! It has indeed been a privilege to journey with the archers of ITE these past six and a half years, where shared visions were met with zeal. Much appreciation to the pioneer batch for keeping the faith, and for building better legacies for those who'll come after us.

Providence, brings people to opportunities... though anticipation sometimes gets the best of us... Focus on the present, walk tall, you've put in the work, now glean the wisdom from each experience; take stock of your growth at each competition platform, celebrate personal bests and reflect on your discoveries too, for there are many parallels that can be found that mirror life at large, from the simple act of shooting a bow.

The Physical Educator's job is to spark an interest and nurture it into a love for movement literacy. The student athlete's role is to commit to growth... it with joy that we send off yet another batch on their way to higher level competitions! In time, we will come to better know and resolve process and equipment limitations, and in turn, to better ourselves.

The coachable athlete is the testament to a sound system, my students, you, my friends, are our ambassadors! Being positive IS all I have ever asked of my students, for faith and dedication is what will get you through! Incidentally, it is with pride that we celebrate 30 years of archery at ITE; 30 years on, 30 years strong! ReignITE and recharge, for we are blessed, we are team ITE!

Teachers, Coaches, Educators

"Many caps, does the teacher don, though battle weary, and forlorn - champion of dreamers, doers and thinkers, even fire-starters, advocators, rabble-rousers, mediators; drawn to hearts as humble healer.
What dreams may come, we shall not fathom; to serve and strive, though we may falter. The spark, the flame, that kindles changemakers; will grow yet higher, draw hearts closer and expand minds ever broader."

Take time to recharge, social entrepreneurs, be it a sprint or a marathon, we all need recuperation; though we know there's blessing and sustenance found in doing God's work. Sincere appreciation to the Good Lord for the great people who kept me going through the lows and highs. Thank you my friends and loved ones, for being my pillars of strength when I had none to give, my cup runneth over...
