Regional Athletics 2026

Congratulations 

This year we had 5 students represent WHPS at the Eastern Metropolitan Regional level of athletics track and field competition. This event was held last Thursday October 22nd at the Knox athletics track.

And what an amazing effort our students put in. We are very proud of all they have achieved this year and wish them all the best.

Placed 2nd in the girls 12-year-old 800m which means she qualified for the state competition on the 29th October.

She also came 3rd in the 1500m race.

Placed 3rd for her discus effort with a mighty throw of 26.35 metres
