Polding Athletics, Friday 13th October.

Congratulations to Christopher, Hugo, and Flynn for representing our Diocese at the Polding Athletics event in Sydney last Friday! It's a great achievement, and we all hope you had a wonderful experience participating in your chosen events.

 

Christopher participated in the 100 Metre Dash. The 100-metre dash is a classic and exciting sprint event that emphasizes pure speed and acceleration. Chris's participation in this event demonstrated his agility and speed on the track. 

Hugo and Flynn both took part in the 1500-metre running event. Competing in a long-distance race like the 1500 metres requires not only physical fitness but also strategic pacing and mental determination. Hugo and Flynn showed strong speed and endurance in this event and represented the Diocese admirably. 

 

Congratulations again to Christopher, Hugo, and Flynn for their participation and efforts in these events. It's evident that you three have diverse talents and skills in the world of athletics. You have made our school community proud.
