2023 Athletics Carnival

What a fabulous day we had last Thursday for our St Edward’s Annual athletics carnival. The sun was out and so were the smiles and sportsmanship of our students. We were so excited to be able to hold a full carnival with spectators. For many of our infants' families this was their first carnival to be able to participate in due to COVID. A massive thank you to everyone who helped make the day a success. Without the help of our P&F, teachers, support staff and parents, days like this can’t go ahead. 

A massive thank you to Mrs Katrina Ashford for taking photos of the day. Please head to our St Edward’s Facebook page for all the photos taken from the day.
