Athletics Day

2023 PARKDALE SECONDARY COLLEGE HOUSE ATHLETICS CARNIVAL

Parkdale’s Athletics Carnival was held at Dolomore Reserve, Mentone on Tuesday 8th August. The day had a festive atmosphere thanks to the active participation of the students in attendance. Along with the traditional track and field events, students participated and enjoyed a range of different activities including face painting, the student band, VM fundraiser BBQ and various novelty events including the egg & spoon and sack races. It was fantastic for staff and students to be able to enjoy the day.
