St Mary's Shines!
Whole School Athletics Day
A Fantastic Day at Athletics!
Yesterday, St Mary’s students from Prep to Grade 6 hit the track for our annual Athletics Day at the Shepparton Athletics Track — and what a fantastic day it was!
Dressed proudly in their house colours, all students participated in a range of exciting athletics activities, including the 100m Sprint, 400m Distance, Hurdles, Long Jump, High Jump, Vortex Throw, Shot Put and Soccer Kick.
While there was plenty of friendly competition throughout the day, the highlight was seeing the amazing sportsmanship and encouragement shown by our students. Students cheered each other on, encouraging their classmates to run faster, throw further and jump higher, while celebrating each other's achievements.
The competition was hotly contested across the day, with students giving their best in every event. The Age Group Champion results were extremely close, with some fantastic performances making for an exciting finish.
