SSSSA Athletics Day 2026

Our students had a fantastic day at the SSSSA Athletics Carnival, held on Friday 13th March at Ringwood Athletics Track.

SSSSA (Southern Special Schools Sports Association) provides students with the opportunity to compete in interschool sporting events throughout the year.  It was great to see so many students getting involved, competing across a range of events and giving their best throughout the day.

Across the carnival, Emerson students achieved:

22 x 1st place finishes 

15 x 2nd place finishes 

14 x 3rd place finishes 

In total, 40+ students competed across track and field events 

A major highlight of the day was the relays.  Emerson had an outstanding result — winning 5 out of 6 relays, with the remaining team finishing 2nd.  Looking ahead, students will continue their training as we build towards upcoming School Sport Victoria (SSV) and All Schools Athletics events, with pathways progressing through district, regional and state level competitions later in the year.

A big thank you to all staff who assisted on the day — marshalling events, supporting students, and helping everything run smoothly. Your support made a huge difference! 

It was a highly successful day with plenty of strong performances and great results across all age groups.

 Well done to all students who competed and represented Emerson!
