Dorgbetor said, the outcome of sporting activities are enormous, with the likes of Asamoah Gyan, Dede Ayew, and Christian Atsu worth mentioning. He therefore urged the students to engage in any sport activity with all the intrinsic motivation they can muster to elevate them to their desired height one day in the future.

During the course of the festival, various students took part tirelessly in varied games and events to the admiration of all and sundry.

On the Friday that climax the competition, results were coagulated and House 1 (Red) nicknamed "1 Corner House" were adjudged the overall winners of the competitions.

In the girls division, House 4 again were the winners as they defeated House 3. The excitement was at the peak in the handball games, which was closely contested with House 4 emerging as the eventual winners in both the Boys and Girls division.  

By all accounts, in the last two years, House 1 has consistently stayed in the number one position. This year too, the "1 Corner House" beat all the other houses to remain in the 1st position with 216 points. The 2nd position went to House 4 with 200 points. House 2 were in 3rd position with 148 points, while House 3 took 4th position with 131 points

Interestingly, the first year students gave their seniors a tough time in all events but lack the experience to overcome them. The prime purpose of the festival was met as various students were selected towards next year's Inter-School Sports festival based on merit. The entire student body were presented with products and paraphernalia from FoodTech and outstanding sports boys and girls were also presented with certificates and other forms of appreciations for their hard work.
