House Athletics Sports

Another year, another electric atmosphere at the Warrandyte High School House Athletics Carnival! With blue skies and ideal conditions, Doncaster Athletics Track was bursting with colour, cheer, and determination as students and staff brought their house pride to life. It was a day full of athletic excellence, spirited competition, and unforgettable moments.

From the moment the buses arrived, it was clear that the 2025 carnival was going to be special. Participation was at an all-time high, with students running, jumping, throwing, and cheering their hearts out. Events were fiercely contested, and five long-standing school records were smashed!

Record-Breaking Highlights:

• Sky Jones – 13yo Girls’ Javelin (breaking a record from 2005!)
• Teagan Potter – 17yo Girls’ Shot Put (previously untouched since 2005) and the 17yo Girls’ High Jump (previous record stood since 2018) 
• Ashley Denny – 15yo Girls’ Triple Jump (breaking a 2012 record)
• Sierra West – 15yo Girls’ Javelin (previous record stood since 2018)

These are achievements that will no doubt be remembered and celebrated for years to come.

Leadership in Action

Our House and School Captains led by example, encouraging participation and supporting peers throughout the day. Leadership was also shown by students who volunteered at events – timing, measuring, cheering, and delivering snacks to hardworking staff. These students also gained valuable points for their house. A special mention to Grace Jones, who ran the javelin measuring with professionalism and precision all day!

Thank You!

A massive thank you to all the staff who made the day possible – running events, managing students, recording results and cheering alongside everyone. Your energy and support made the day run like clockwork.

The carnival concluded with the much-loved Year 12 Final Sprint, a moment of celebration and reflection as the entire school community cheered on our senior students.

Bring on Division Athletics and here’s to an even bigger and better house competition in 2026!
