September 10 is a very important day because on that day the Croatian Olympic Day is celebrated. Why on this date you may ask yourselves. It's simple! It's because on this day the Croatian Olympic Committee was founded.

The Croatian Olympic Day promotes the importance of doing any sports activity as well as the principles of the Olympic excellence in any field together with understanding, peace, and solidarity of all the people as the guidelines of the Olympic unity.

This day includes all sorts of sports activities from kindergartens to schools, universities, local communities, etc.

The outer feature of the day is the white shirt which symbolizes the white background on the Olympic flag on which 5 coloured circles are drawn. That whiteness with five circles on it symbolizes fair play, peace and friendship.

Today we organized sports activities for the students of the lower as well as upper classes. All the students got a chance to participate and try a different activity from jumping in pairs with inner legs of the partners connected with a tread...or cross...or even trying to carry a little ball in a spoon which had to be carried in the mouth. Maybe it sounds easy to do...but it's not.

But the whole point is that the students spent some time outdoors doing sports activities and at the same time they were with their peers and had so much fun. So did the teachers! 

Happy Croatian Olympic Day!
