The aim of the basketball tournament is to provide students with an opportunity to develop their teamwork, communication, and collaboration skills, which are central to the Primary Years Programme (PYP) learner profiles. Through participation in this sport, students will practice problem-solving, strategic thinking, and fair play in a competitive yet friendly environment.

This event encourages students to form positive relationships with their peers, fostering friendship and solidarity within teams. It also highlights the importance of perseverance and respect, both on and off the court, as students learn to work together towards a common goal while demonstrating empathy and understanding for their opponents.

By emphasizing these values, the basketball tournament supports the holistic development of students, ensuring that the experience contributes to their growth as balanced, principled, and open-minded individuals in line with the PYP philosophy.
