Year 7 - 12 Athletics Carnival

The Year 7 - 12 Athletics Carnival was held in September and was an amazing display of team spirit and sportsmanship. 

Unwin House won the day but all our Houses put in a great effort to make the day a success.

A special congratulations to Chase Clark, who broke the 400-metre Open Boys Track record that was set in 1958 by an alumni named J. Blythe. This record has stood for 61 years so to break it is a huge achievement!

Grade 8 Girls Win Touch Football Grand Final

A fabulous season-long performance from a group of Grade 8 girls who are really starting to grow as a team. Considering their relative inexperience compared to most other teams in the comp, The Friends' School Grade 8 girls timed their run to the Grand Final with absolute perfection, coming from behind, against a well-drilled and previously undefeated McKillop College team to triumph 3-2.

Everybody, without exception, brought their best game and gave 100%. Well done girls.
