All the colour of the Carnival
Inter-House Athletics Carnival at Ern Clark Athletics
On Friday 16 August the College held its annual Inter-House Athletics Carnival at Ern Clark Athletics Centre. In a race against time, wet weather held off long enough to ensure we could finish the day. The energy and enthusiasm shown by students, staff and parents is what makes a St Norbert College Athletics Carnival so special.
I would like to thank all student helpers, staff and parents who assisted on the day.
Magdeburg House showed great spirit, cheering on their House and trying their hardest throughout the novelty events and won the Spirit Bear award for 2019. Congratulations to Head of MagdeburgHouse, Patrick Ah Fong and Magdeburg staff and students.
In a first, the students team won the staff vs student race. The staff team have already started training for 2020 to ensure this does not happen again. Congratulations students.
The overall House champion trophy was won by Tongerlo House for the second consecutive year. Congratulations to Head of Tongerlo House, Bronson Gherardi and the Tongerlo staff and students.

Gold for snap-happy Media Team
If a picture is worth a thousand words then our photo album of the 2019 Inter-house Athletics Carnival is priceless. The Media Team, led by Jessica Ramos, excelled in capturing all the colour of the carnival both on and off the track.
Wearing their official Media Passes and sticking to a tight-running roster of 30-minute shot blocks, the photographers tag-teamed throughout the day, racing back to the Production Desk (on the hour or half-hour) where their images were downloaded. Frances Macapili, who continually produces outstanding sports photography, proved equally as snap-happy capturing golden sporting moments as she did in focusing on the high-spirited spectators. Some of Frances's images are shown in the first of three galleries, below, followed by two galleries of winning pictures by the Team.
Thank you to all the Media Team photographers and production assistants - Sasha, Frances, Allyson, Maria, Emma, Ali, Lily, Rachel, Aaron, Jessica, Ethan, Phoebe, Ashley, Theresa, Connor, Christine, Ayden and Jeremy - for their valuable work.
