School Athletics
On Tuesday 8th of August the school went to the Flora Hill Athletics Track to participate in the annual whole school athletics carnival. In every event the students participated in they were awarded points for their house colour: 4 for first place, 3 for second, 2 for third and 1 for participation. Perfect weather greeted students amid an atmosphere of excitment and joy. The day kicked off with the hurdles and the junior field events. It finished with the junior track events and the 3 - 6 field events.
A big thankyou to those that volunteered to support on the day: Dave & Sherrill, Henry Miller, Kath Carman, Kim Sheldon, Aimee Howlett, Paula Perrett, Kylie Zappelli, Damien Zapelli, Bill Hawking, Jo Doye, Wayne Martin & Aleisha Weekly.
The following students were awarded Age Group Champions. This was based on results throughout the day and in recognition of fair play and competitive spirit.
