At Thalun we are committed to educating the whole child; creating opportunities for students to participate in a wide variety of physical activities and competitive sport that are guided by our core values. For our student-athletes we offer year-round skill development in both individual and team sports, while also providing an environment that focuses on increasing physical fitness, develop higher social and emotional well being, and continuously developing the capacity to compete at a higher level. The ideals of sportsmanship, ethical conduct, and a demonstration of respect for the efforts of fellow team members, opponents, coaches and are expected from all participants.
The three sport seasons at Thalun are aligned with our Quarter:
- Quarter 1 : Taekwondo
- Quarter 2 : Football
- Quarter 3 : Badminton and Volleyball
- Quarter 4 : Taekwondo
Each season involves weekly practice and friendly games, and concluding tournaments among schools.
We recently collaborated with several other smaller schools in the city to create the annual MFIS Tournament (Myanmar Futsal International Schools Tournament) where 6 international schools (and growing) came together to create opportunities for students to participate and build their skills. Our upper elementary, middle and high school students participate in a wide range of activities, friendly matches and tournaments, all opportunities for personal development through recreational sport play and fitness based activities.
