Sporty Staff

The IMI staff get sporty as they try their hands (or should that be feet?) at kickball...

The IMI staff always like to give of their best, be that in the classroom, the office, or the sports field!

At the recent team-building activity, they got to create their very own field of dreams as they tried their hands (or rather feet) at the sport of kickball.

Similar to baseball in its rules, kickball replaces the bat with the foot and uses a larger, more football-sized ball when pitching.

The object of the game is to kick the ball away from the fielders and try and run around all the bases to get back ‘home’.

Always willing to try something new, the IMI staff divided themselves into teams and had a really fun afternoon trying out the game.

Event organiser Mr. Pinkston recognises the importance of faculty and staff being able to socialise outside of the workplace.

“We cross paths every day and things can sometimes get challenging and that is where staff events can lift people when they need it most,” he said.

“Through the fun and games, people can relax and enjoy the time not with fellow workers, but with colleagues and friends that you can laugh and have fun with.

“Ultimately, this builds greater understanding and cooperation among us all.”

It certainly seemed that everyone involved had a great time and enjoyed working together as teams outside of the normal workplace context.

A special mention must go to ‘Team Wilton’ who emerged victorious on the day and received some special hamper prizes kindly provided by the school.
