Year 3-6 Athletics Competition
On Tuesday 28 March, students in Years 3 - 6 competed at the Junior House Athletics competition. With perfect weather, students participated in a range of running, throwing, jumping and relay events.
Tabor Trojans (White House) were slightly ahead halfway through the day, but it was a fast-finishing Gibeon Warriors (Red House) who came home to claim their third consecutive Year 3 - 6 Athletics victory. Zion Crusaders (Blue House) placed second with Tabor Trojans finishing third.
The following students are congratulated for finishing as the year level champions for their results in individual events.
| Year Level | Girls' Champion | Boys' Champion |
|---|---|---|
| Year 3 | Joanne Huang | Bentley Moulton |
| Year 4 | Ellen Frazer | Joshua Connelly |
| Year 5 | Hannah Philip | Lachlan Edwards |
| Year 6 | Mia Frazer | Joe Powell |
We also had some of our Junior School athletics records broken (records have been kept since 2016). The following students are commended for their outstanding achievements!
| Year Level | Student | Achievement |
|---|---|---|
| Year 3 | Joanne Huang Samuel Bird Rannbaaz Singh Bentley Moulton | 100m and 200m 100m 800m 1500m |
| Year 4 | Ellen Frazer Iluka Skurka | 100m, 200m, Long Jump and Triple Jump Shot Put |
| Year 5 | Lachlan Edwards Rose Moulton Mariah Rickard | 100m 1500m Long Jump |

The highlight of the day was the final Circular Relay race, where each year nominated four students to compete against the other year levels, Year 8 helpers, Year 10 helpers and teachers. With a staggered start, it was the Year 3s who claimed victory, finishing slightly ahead of the Year 4s (2nd) and the Year 10s (3rd). The teachers will be looking to bounce back with a top three finish in 2024.
Thank you to the Year 10 and Year 8 helpers for your efforts in making this a successful day!
