Athletics Carnival

What a wonderful day we witnessed for what was a very successful Inter House Athletics Carnival last Friday. The enthusiasm and participation from our students was simply outstanding and has been widely commented on by various staff and parents.

On Friday the 29th of May, Staughton students once again made the journey to Werribee to compete in the annual Athletics carnival. Despite the horrible weather all week, the sun came out for our determined students who came in their droves to support their houses.

Students took part in many field and track events and again there was a competitive spirit among the different Houses as the House Captains frantically ensured that each House was well represented in all the events. Congratulations to Lorna Mclory and Paul James for taking Kitson to victory.

Final tally was as follows:

Kitson (Green) – 3349points

Watts (Red) – 2894points

Cotterell (Yellow) – 2849points

Individual Age Group Champions will be placed on the College website after they have been formally announced to the students at the next school assembly.

Many thanks need to go to the staff who braved the chilly conditions to run various events on the day and to the many staff who came early to the track to set up equipment before students arrived. It is a very large day to organise and to have many staff and students all involved in organising the event it does make for a smooth day!

A huge thank you to the VCAL students for putting together yet another amazing BBQ and Lauren Moore for organising some live music to entertain us on the day.

Students will be notified as to whether or not they have progressed to the next round of Athletics in Term 3.
