Students displayed impressive determination, athleticism and sportsmanship both on the track and field.
As expected, every student gave their best effort in each event they entered.
Runners, jumpers and throwers displayed commitment and skill with some outstanding results achieved.
The athletes were fortunate to have incredible support from the school community with parents, grandparents, family and friends lining the sidelines to cheer them on.
There was plenty of action to keep spectators engaged with students participating in a range of track events, including the 800m, 200m, 100m, as well as field events.
The sub-junior children participated in a fun filled day which included taking part in track events, long jump, discus and a range of novelty events.
Gulpa was the winning house on 228 points, followed by Moira on 153 points.
“Special Congratulations to our Sportsmanship Award Winners, Kohen (K-2) and Rosie (3-6),” principal Janice Eddy said.
“Both students are commended for their positive attitude through their events, and encouragement of their peers.
