House Athletic Carnival

House Athletics Carnival

The 2024 Wantirna College House Athletics Carnival was one of the best in recent years. The fantastic weather, competitive track and field events, along with the novelty events organised by our fantastic Year 11 VM students were some of the highlights of the day. 

Thanks to everyone who took part in an event, and to all staff for their efforts in running another successful carnival.
