SCHOOL ATHS DAY FUN!
What a wonderful sunny and fun day we all had last Friday 7th August!
Preps to Year 2 students participated in Big Jump, Mini Shot Put, Discus Hoops, Long Run (200m, 300m or 400m), Mini Hurdles and 50m Sprints. They all had the chance of winning ribbons and earning house points for their teams, with McAuley ending up the winners of the School Athletics for 2026.
The Year 3-6 students completed in events which also served as trials to get into the St Joseph's School Athletocs Team who will complete at the Phillip District Athletics at the Mornington Athletics Centre on Wednesday 9th August. They competed in High Jump and 1500m during PE Lessons and Long Jump, Triple Jump, 80m hurdles, 100m, 200m, 800m, Discus and Shot Put. Year 6s especially loved their race with the Prep buddies!
A huge thank you must go to the parents who signed up to help across the day, whether helping at the Officials Table and House Points Tallying, Cooking the BBQ, doing the stressful Coffee Run for the Helpers, Accompanying an Age Group, Running an Event, or Setting up and Packing Up the Event Equipment.............YOU WERE ALL SO MUCH APPRECIATED! THANK YOU, THANK YOU!
