Murrumbeena Primary School was well represented at this years Beachside Division Athletics Carnival held recently at Duncan Mackinnon Reserve with fourteen students participating.

The Beachside Division is a very competitive and high quality event. Our Beena students represented the school brilliantly with our best results for several years. Due to the fact that only the top 2 athletes proceed to the Southern Regional's our congratulations goes to Aurora F who qualified in the girls 11 year old Discus (her second year in a row having competed in the Shot Put the previous year).
