Athletics

Junior

The junior children showcased their athletic skills yesterday in a display of 6 minute rotations at each different rotation.  There was the long jump, high scissor kick on the mat, throwing both the discus and shotput styles, obstacle course and sprints. There are certainly some young budding athletes coming along. Thank you to the parents who came to watch and support their children.

Senior

Today we were very fortunate with the weather gods who granted us a great day to have athletics, neither hot not cold and it didn't rain!!

Thank you so much to Jack Feng, Annette Lawson and Molly-May Mestrom who helped with our athletics and to the students who supported one another in their events. There were certainly some exciting close finishes amongst the children.

Trophies and certificates will be handed out at our next assembly.
