Active & Alive
Athletics Carnival
Sunny conditions greeted the students on Friday 10th may at the annual athletics carnival. Students displayed great sportsmanship and team spirit to cheer on their houses in running, field and tabloid events. Students were over the moon at the end of the day when they defeated the staff in the annual tug-o-war competition. A huge thank you to James Sheahan Catholic High School in providing students to assist in the tasks throughout the day.
