[뉴스후=김정덕 기자] The Gyeonggi-do Suwon Office of Education will hold the ‘2nd Semester Suwon-type School Sports Club Festival’ starting with the School Sports Club Cluster Badminton Competition held at the Daepyeong Elementary School Gymnasium on October 22nd.
This festival was prepared to spread a school sports culture in which students can proactively participate and enjoy, and is comprised of ▲ an individual gymnastics festival for elementary school students, ▲ a Kids Run competition for lower elementary school students, ▲ a creative (broadcast) dance competition centered on female students, and ▲ a cluster competition for small schools.
In particular, the School Sports Club Cluster Competition is a competition held by small schools in cooperation at the regional level, and 3 to 12 schools from each district and district in Suwon directly plan and participate in the sports of interest. It is operated as a community-based sports activity that promotes exchange and cooperation between schools, and is nicknamed ‘Our Neighborhood School Sports Club Competition’ due to the characteristics of the operation method.
In the first semester, competitions were held across Suwon, but some events were held in a tournament format, limiting competition opportunities. In this second semester festival, all games were converted to a league format to expand student participation and increase the enjoyment of physical activities. This is expected to increase students’ awareness of participation in physical activities and improve satisfaction with school life.
In addition, we provided support for participation in various ways, such as video, depending on school conditions, expanding opportunities for students to experience learning and growth through sports.
Superintendent Kim Seon-kyung of the Suwon Office of Education said, “I hope that this Suwon-type school sports club festival will serve as an opportunity to expand students’ participation in physical activities and create a healthy school culture.” He added, “We will continue to actively support students so that they can grow both physically and mentally in a safe and enjoyable sports environment.” He added, “In the 2026 school year, we will expand the Gyeonggi Provincial Office of Education’s ‘Oasis’ morning exercise program to support physical activities so that they can become part of school daily life.”
