FOOTSCRAY CITY COLLEGE ATHLETICS

Our athletics carnival took place in week 4 of this term where students from Year 7 - 9 competed to represent our school in Track & Field events and also in novelty events (including a fashion parade) to earn points for the school houses competition. It was a fun day highlighted by some outstanding athletic performances as well as some engaging novelty events.

A big thank you must go out to all students and staff that helped make the carnival at Aberfeldie such a success. Great participation rates and friendly, co-operative students made it very easy for the organisers.

Congratulations to Alberti (Red) House for their overall win. It was a great effort after coming second in the swimming sports earlier this year. Final House results were: 1st Alberti (Red) 599 pts, 2nd Cooper (Green) 557, 3rd Hoadley (Yellow) 441 and 4th Kirner (Blue) 404.

The feedback from coaches and umpires was that our students competed in the correct spirit which is very pleasing.
