MAHATMA Gandhi Memorial High School (MGM) is trying to find its best form ahead of the Fiji Secondary Schools Athletics Association’s Cola-Cola Games.
School principal Sanjay Raman said they would field 60 athletes in the Suva Zone Two competition and hopefully some of their athletes could qualify for the Coca-Cola Games.
He said during the year, their students had been training with their special coaches.
“This year since we still have this pandemic, we are adhering to the COVID-19 restrictions and that is why we have only asked our students to come to the ANZ Stadium and participate,” he said.

Hullo readers.
In The Fiji Times edition of Thursday, February 18, 2021, we are continuing our coverage of the controversial deportation of Professor Pal Ahluwalia, and we continue to receive reactions as this story develops with stakeholders now engaged in a series of meetings to rectify this situation.
Also, by now, we’d presume that our readers in Fiji, and surely from around the world too, would have learned of the tragic house fire at Nadele in Sabeto, Nadi, and a family that lost three loved ones in that most devastating incident. Our team was at the scene so we have those personal stories to share with you.
