WHPS Athletics Team 2026
3rd Place
This year WHPS had 84 students in the Athletics Team selected from Years four, five and six classes.
The first date planned was postponed due to inclement weather- so the district had to come up with a new date and venue that would suit all six schools. Just one week later, on Thursday 3rd September, our team travelled over to the Box Hill athletics track.
Students had been training hard all term in the lead up to this event and were excited to have the chance to show how well they could perform. The weather was relatively kind to us, with a mixture of cloud, sunshine with some rain. Quite a typical Melbourne day really. Some events were affected by the rain and had to be adjusted or cancelled (mainly one rotation of high jump).
Congratulations to all our students for their terrific effort on competition day. There were many students who came in the top 4, and every point they scored counted for our overall result. Several students beat their personal best records/times from training sessions or results from last year.
Our students all worked hard and as a result Wheelers Hill came third overall amongst our Monash Heights district of six schools.
1st Place: Mount Waverley PS
2nd Place: Jells Park PS
3rd Place: Wheelers Hill PS
This year we will have34 students who qualified (top 4 for their event) to compete again at the Monash Waverley Division competition at the Bill Sewart Athletics Track, on Wednesday 7th October (Week 1 of Term 4). Special congratulations and good luck to all these students.

Thanks to all the Year 4-6 staff for their ongoing support – both during trials and the training sessions- and Chloe, Suzie, Megan & Tozzie for helping us on competition day.
You all helped to make the day enjoyable, run smoothly and very successful for our students. A fantastic effort!
