Someone from Belle told me that this is the best ever sports event held in the history of St.Lawrence Junior College, Moodubelle. New PT teacher Mr.Joseph Dsouza is the reason behind such a change and one can very well see it through the photos posted on this website. I feel now it is the turn of School Management to utilize the service of such able PT teacher so that one day Moodubelle will also see State level and National level athletes and sports persons.
