Whole School Athletics Day

What an amazing day we had on Tuesday. It was great to see our house colours on display and smiling faces throughout the day. Well done to all students and staff on the day. A special thank you to the parents who volunteered their time to assist with events on the day. Your help is greatly appreciated. Check out some of our high jumpers below.
