Athletics Carnival

On Thursday 21 April, we held our  Athletics Carnival at Collingwood Athletics Track. We were successful in holding off the rain to ensure the event went ahead as planned. Many of our students secured places for the next athletics meet as well as achieving personal bests. Along with competitive track and field events, novelty events proved to be popular, giving students the chance to have some fun and participate in friendly house competitions. This year students had the opportunity to participate in tug ‘o’ war, vortex throwing and hoop races, all of which were a great success in getting more students involved in the Carnival.

Congratulations to the students below as well as those securing places in the Darebin Division competition.
