Diocesan Athletics Carnival  

Tuesday saw 46 students participate in the Diocesan Athletics Carnival. It was a bitterly cold day, however this did not stop our students from competing at the best of their ability. From all reports everyone had a fantastic time. A massive thank you to Mr Karl Short for supervising the students and a massive thank you to Mrs Hedi Hardaker for another fabulously ran carnival.
