House Athletics Carnival

Thursday 4th March saw the Baimbridge College students travel to Pedrina Park to participate in the annual Interhouse Athletics. Cold weather and windy conditions were not ideal to start the day; however, this did not stop the motivation of participants especially the 1500 metre runners who kicked off proceedings in the first event of the day. There was a large number of participants in every event which was awesome to see, as well as those who engaged in the novelty events to earn a few extra points for their house. Overall the standings were once again all too familiar with Fraser coming out on top followed by Laver, Bradman then Cuthbert. A massive shout out to all staff and students who helped out on the day and for making the day as enjoyable as it was.

Friday the 12th March saw 70 students travel to Casterton to participate in the Glenelg District Athletics. All students gave every event their best effort with some students participating and filling in events for others who were injured on the day which was awesome to see. The competition was strong with the best athletes from each local school in attendance and this saw many records broken.
