House Athletics

Last Friday we were greeted by wonderful weather for our House Athletic Sports Carnival. A large contingent of parents were present, which was brilliant. Students were wearing plenty of green, gold, purple and blue. It was fabulous to see everyone trying their best and assisting each other. The whole school events provided loads of fun, and there was plenty of cheering during the relays. Well done to all the students and thank you to Mr Thompson and Mr McCallum for their organisation of the day. Thanks also must go to the staff and parents who ran the events on the day. Of course, a big well done to Avoca who just pipped Calder for the shield!
