It was a close competition with Huntingtower winning the ‘Most Improved School’ Award and placing 4th Overall. We are extremely proud of all our students who competed, assisted, cheered and supported the team. Thank you for your commitment, enthusiasm, and efforts. You deserve this fantastic result.
Thanks to our incredible staff and parents who came on the day, we couldn’t have done it without you. We look forward to cheering on our competitors who will attend the Champions Athletics Carnival on Tuesday 24th May.
