Primary School Sports Carnival
On Thursday, March 24th, over 200 primary school students from 7 different primary schools took part in a Sports Carnival at Lowanna College. The day was facilitated by our VET Sport and Recreation students, to assist them in gaining their certificate.
The Day began with tabloid sports where Willow Grove PS earned the most points, and ended with a European Handball tournament where St Kierans PS took out the overall win!
It was pleasing to see our students create and run an enjoyable day for the primary schools!
