On Wednesday, 15th August, a team of 52 students ranging from Year 3 -6, participated at the annual Bentleigh District Athletics Carnival. The event was held at the local Duncan MacKinnon Athletics Track. 

All students who competed are to be commended on their participation and efforts, as this was a student free day for the Junior School.
