House Athletics 2026

Students from Prep to Grade 6 travelled by bus to the Tom Kelly Athletics Track and were greeted with wonderful weather for a fantastic day of House Athletics. The positive atmosphere and excitement were evident from the moment students arrived, with everyone eager to represent their Houses and participate throughout the day.

Grade 3 to Grade 6 students showed great enthusiasm, perseverance and teamwork as they collaborated with their Houses while competing in a range of track and field events throughout the day. Students demonstrated excellent sportsmanship, encouraging one another and giving their best effort in every event. It was wonderful to see so many students stepping outside their comfort zones, celebrating individual achievements and contributing valuable points towards their House totals.

Prep to Grade 2 students were incredibly enthusiastic whilst participating in the Mini Athletics activities. Students showcased a variety of skills including throwing, running and jumping, whilst most importantly trying their best alongside their friends and House groups. The day was filled with energy, encouragement and smiles as students rotated through activities, built confidence and enjoyed being active in a fun and supportive environment.

We thank the Sport and Recreation Year 11 students from Marcellin College for supporting our wonderful day.
