ATHLETICS CARNIVAL
MS GRACE SCOTT - STUDENT ACTIVITIES COORDINATOR
The St Mary MacKillop College Interhouse Athletics Carnival was held at Ken Harrison Reserve on Tuesday, 19th of August. The weather was wonderful, and it was fantastic to see so many students competing and cheering for their houses.
Woods cheered hard all day to take out the House Spirit award - but they also ran fast, jumped far and threw with strength to finish the day as athletics champions for the first time since 2011!
A big thank you to all staff who assisted before and during the day.
Overall results:
1st place: Woods House - 4,472 points
2nd place: Solomon House - 4,441 points
3rd place: Tenison House - 4,424 points
