House Athletics Carnival

The Athletics Carnival on the last day of February was a lot of fun for everyone in Grade 3 to Grade 6. Everyone tried their hardest to help their house come on top. There was tons of cheering, laughing and screaming. Congratulations to everybody who got involved and people who achieved a ribbon. Good job to the Grade 3's, who participated in their first Athletics Carnival. Congrats to the students who ran in the 4x100 metre race, and finally beat the teachers after 15 years. Thank you to the teachers and parent helpers who participated in the race. Also, many thanks to the parent helpers and teachers who assisted the students in the events. Most of all, thank you to Mr Walsh and everyone who organised this memorable moment, making the Athletics Carnival an amazing experience for everyone.
