On Friday the 19th August, a team of 33 athletes and 4 VCAL students set off to Newport Athletics Track for the first Altona District Primary Athletics Carnival since 2019. For many, this was their first interschool competition, so nerves were high! Students were briefed on their events and were responsible in getting themselves to their events on time. A huge commendation has to go to each student in how they conducted themselves maturely and represented the College in a positive way. A big thank you also needs to go to Tash Allan, Jaiden Walls, Monica Gavazovska and Desiree Giannakopoulos from VCAL who volunteered their time to assist Shaun and Miss C-J with the running of the track events, and supporting the primary students throughout the day.

Congratulations to the following students who received ribbons in their respective events: 

• 12/13 girls 4 x 100m relay 1st: Tanya, Mariah, Shiloh and Ava
• 11 boys 4 x 100m relay 1st: Edward, Rory, Sam and Oscar
