The Junior School Athletics Carnival was a wonderful celebration of athletic achievement, team spirit, sportsmanship and, above all, fun.
The carnival got off to a fantastic start, with record numbers of students competing in the 800m event. Every participant showed great determination, pushing themselves all the way to the finish line.
The House Captains showed off their leadership skills throughout the day, encouraging and supporting their fellow House members. Their enthusiasm was infectious, with creative House chants during the lunch break inspiring students and staff alike to join in and proudly show their House spirit.
