GOOD NEWS - HARPER H
We enjoy sharing our students' achievements here at St. Finbar’s and this is a very exciting one! Over the long weekend, one of our Year 4 student’s; Harper H (4M) participated in the State Little Athletics Championships at Lakeside stadium. Harper has a passion for her track and field events and enjoys trying to improve her times and distances each time she competes. At this State event, Harper came away with a medal in not just one, but ALL 4 events! This is a wonderful achievement! Harper spent two days competing at Lakeside stadium in Albert Park and walked away with a silver medal in the 70m, gold medal in the 200m, gold medal in the long jump and a bronze in her 100m! Congratulations Harper - we can’t wait to see you in action at our House Aths next week!
