通常の状況下で...
Under normal circumstances, the SOIS community - students, parents, faculty, staff - are invited each year to the Sabers awards celebration, held in the theater and cafeteria, with over 100 people attending this fun event. Circumstances are not quite normal yet, but on June 2, 2022, for the first time in three years the Sabers athletic department held an in-person Sabers Awards Celebration, this time outdoors in the courtyard. The attendance was lighter than usual, but the atmosphere was festive and the Sabers community came together to celebrate a successful year of sport as we slowly move back to some semblance of normalcy.

The purposes of the event were to celebrate our Sabers sporting year, to say farewell to a few Sabers coaches,
and to present our two traditional two-schools athletic awards.

For more information about the Sabers Awards, please visit the Sabers Awards webpage.

Special thanks and farewell to departing coaches:
  - Mr. Derek Entwistle (19 years at SOIS)
  - Ms. Leanne Entwistle (22 years at SOIS)
  - Mr. Michael Warford (2 years at SOIS)

Congratulations to these deserving Sabers student athletes.

Moth balls kept their uniforms fresh and, for the first time in three years, since COVID-19 shut down Sabers competition against other schools in the spring of 2019, the Sabers high school baseball team donned those uniforms to play official WJAA games on Saturday, April 23, 2022, at Canadian Academy in Kobe. As defending WJAA champions, the Sabers continued their winning ways in a morning double header, defeating Marist Brothers International School 16-4 and then Canadian Academy 3-1.

Coach Sagara had some tempered praise for the team, post game. "We batted and fielded well against the Bulldogs. But we struggled over the first several innings against the Falcons, in all phases of the game. We gave up too many walks and had some mental lapses on the base paths. But eventually our bats woke up to give us a lead, our pitching got stronger, and our fielding helped us close out the victory. I'm proud of the team."

The Sabers play in the WJAA championship tournament to be held at Canadian Academy, May 6-7, 2022. 
Go Sabers!
