Athletics

The weather was certainly kind to us on April 20th as staff and students ventured to Knox Athletic Track for our annual Athletics Carnival.

After a bumpy start with delayed buses, everyone played their part to ensure the day was a success. With colour surrounding the venue, it was terrific to observe staff and students embrace their house colours. The track was extremely well used with an exceptional amount of junior students competing in numerous events. Further activity was observed as Ms. Solomen, Mr. Saunders and Ms. Urbano created a colourful display of novelty events, including our Giant Twister.

Final results have not been established, as there are still field events to be completed.
