Member of the City Council in Charge for Sports and Youth Mr. Predrag Svilar attended ceremony dedicated to awarding the annual recognitions to school with best results accomplished at sports competitions, from municipal to state level in the academic 2014-2015.
- It is always an immense pleasure to award recognitions to students who accomplished outstanding results, since in this way we show their work is appreciated and in this way we encourage them to continue with their effort. I particularly extend my gratitude to PE teachers, who achieve great results in their work with children, but more importantly, they teach children the true values and healthy lifestyles. – stated Mr. Svilar and added that the City recognizes the importance of school sport and allocates significant sums for that purpose. This year we hosted important competitions in this area, such as Young Olympics and Final Athletics Championship, and we will give our best to make it that way in future as well.
Last year, some 6,000 primary and secondary students participated in school competitions organized by the School Sports and Olympic Education Association of Novi Sad. They competed in table tennis, swimming, handball, basketball, sports gymnastics, futsal, shooting sport, cross country, as well as other Olympic disciplines, judo, karate, and tennis.
