Sports Update
with Mrs Smith
Our 2026 Athletics Carnival was a fantastic day filled with enthusiasm, participation, and school spirit. It was wonderful to see all students getting involved and giving their best throughout the day. Most importantly, they demonstrated outstanding sportsmanship, encouraging and supporting one another while embracing both challenges and successes.
A heartfelt thank you goes to the amazing parents who generously volunteered their time to help run the day. Your support and willingness to assist made this event possible and we are incredibly grateful for your assistance.
We would also like to extend our sincere thanks to Brigitte Brummell and the P&F for running the canteen. Your hard work and dedication ensured everyone was well looked after and we greatly appreciate your ongoing support.
Thank you to everyone who helped make this year's Athletics Carnival such a memorable and successful event.
Congratulations to Fitzroy who were our carnival winners on 611 points!
