Sportsmanship Beyond the Medal
From our perspective at Schools Cambodia, events like the AISPP Sports Gala are vital for developing a student’s character. While the competition was intense, the true victory lay in the sportsmanship displayed by the athletes—cheering for rivals, supporting struggling teammates, and celebrating every effort regardless of the outcome.
The success of the day was made possible by the “noise and spirit” brought by the dedicated staff and supportive families who filled the sidelines, proving once again that AISPP is a community that moves together.
