Darebin Division Athletics

On Thursday September 12, the 22 students who had qualified for the Darebin Division Athletics competed in their events at Meadowglen Athletics Centre. A nice sunny day greeted the students upon their arrival, which was a big improvement from the heavy rain at this event 12 months earlier.

The students represented themselves with great pride and respect for not only themselves, but also our school and the students they were competing against. Following the completion of all of the events, we were fortunate enough to have 12 students qualify for the next stage of the competition, where they will be seeking to qualify for the SSV State Championships.
