Athletics Carnival
We had a very successful carnival at the Tamworth Regional Athletics Centre on the last day of Term 2. It was fabulous to see so many families in attendance to support our students on the day. Congratulations to all the students for their wonderful participation on the day. A special thank you is extended to Mrs Hardaker from the Catholic Schools Office and Tamworth Little Athletics for their assistance on the day.
