Inaugural MHS & MGHS Corona Cup (Year 10)

Wow.

Our beginning to the new decade has no doubt been filled with its ups and downs. But with school slated for reopening on 9th June, things are beginning to look normal again. In the meantime, it should be common knowledge by now that the Year 10 Leadership Team has been planning furiously in conjunction with MGHS leaders to bring everyone together with an Inter-Form event.

Unfortunately, due to Administrative Issues earlier on, Corona Cup was forced to be postponed and reorganized. However, everything is ready to go now and there should be no more problems/issues.

Unfortunately, streaming for Corona Cup was not allowed, and therefore for some events, the most we can do is hold a Google Meet. That option allows students to view and spectate whilst others are competing.

MHS & MGHS CORONA CUP was designed to encourage student’s school spirit during Social Isolation. Whilst the event is predominantly an Inter-School event, it is also part of the MHS Form Cup. Hence, we encourage all forms to bring out your best !

Corona Cup will be formally introduced on Tuesday 12th May and run during Week 6 of Term 2, the 19th — 21st May from 4–5:30 pm.

*The usage of chats will depend on each Class Rep’s discretion.

TEAMS:

  • Everyone will be put into teams based upon their forms
  • Forms 10I and 10K will be combined.
  • Forms 10L and 10M will be evenly distributed across the other forms. (Names of people distributed stay the same as before)
  • Above Steps are taken to ensure MGHS AND MHS have even number of forms (10).
  • (For more clarification about Forms, please contact any SRC or Social Service Rep)^
