Help with a sentence

Bearing in mind that our school successfully took part in the sports weekend, I strongly suggest participating in similar events in the future and making our school known across the country.

Is this sentence correct?Is there a difference between I strongly suggest and I strongly advice? Did I use "bearing in mind" properly?

Thanks in advance...

It's OK I guess, but, being picky, I think various aspects of the sentence could be tightened up a bit. " Note: "advise". "Advice" is the noun.

  • It's OK I guess, but, being picky, I think various aspects of the sentence could be tightened up a bit.
  • " Note: "advise".
  • "Advice" is the noun.
  • I'm assuming that you do literally mean "across the country".
  • "Advise" is usually stronger than "suggest": if you "suggest" something then it means "you should consider doing this", whereas if you "advise" something then it means "I definitely think you should do this".
