Athletics Carnival

The 2017 St Andrews Christian College Athletics Carnival took place on the 25th August at the Knox Athletics Track. Despite the cold and wet weather leading up to it, we were blessed with warm sunshine throughout the day. This year, students took part in a range of both track and field events, allowing them to learn and enhance their skills in different athletic sports. We were happy to see students from Yr5 to Yr12 taking part in these activities with an open mind and a smile on their face. We were also pleased to see students encouraging and cheering on their peers and house teams from the sidelines, helping to create a positive vibe and attitude around the track.

This year we also introduced a new event called the STACC Gift, this event got our fastest 100m runners (male and female) from each year level in a staggered handicap 100m race against each other. Taking out the medals for the first ever STACC Gift race were: Samantha Loke (Yr6) and Daniel Lamperd (Yr10).  We would like to thank all the teachers and parent volunteers for running different events, helping out around the track, and ultimately making this day possible.
