Primary School Athletics Carnivals

Our enthusiastic students helped out at back-to-back carnivals on 22 and 23 October. Thursday, 22 October saw three Academy students helping at the St Joseph’s Primary School, Brunswick, Athletics Carnival held in Aberfeldie.  The sun was shining and conditions felt pretty warm.  This didn’t stop the St Joseph's students competing with enthusiasm and our Academy girls were kept busy at the long jump pits and running events. 

On Friday, 23October, eighteen Academy students assisted at the St Joseph’s Primary School, Northcote, Athletics Carnival which was held at George Knott reserve in Clifton Hill.  The students were blessed with wonderful conditions as they assisted at various field and track events.  The students were wonderful role models for their primary school peers.  

We will be helping at one final athletics event for the year on Friday, 13 November.  Our students are looking forward to assisting the St Fidelis Primary School students at their athletics carnival.  

Once we conclude the St Fidelis carnival,  Academy students will have assisted at ten different primary schools athletics days as well as two regional athletics carnivals this year.    We are grateful to the primary schools for providing this opportunity for our students to engage with the wider community and show their leadership skills.
