Diocesan Athletics Carnival: Wednesday, 5th August, 2026
Athletics Carnival
Last Thursday, the St Edward’s community came together for our Annual Athletics Carnival. We couldn't have asked for better weather, or a better display of school spirit and sportsmanship from our students.
Whether they were sprinting down the track, jumping in the pit or throwing a shotput, every student should be incredibly proud of their efforts. Of course, an event of this scale relies on a massive team effort behind the scenes. Our heartfelt thanks go out to the P&F, our dedicated staff, the wonderful parent and community volunteers, and the McCarthy students who kept the day running like clockwork.
Congratulations to the following age champions.
