Athletics Carnival 

Congratulations to all our students who were involved in our Athletics carnival. Thankyou for your participation and enthusiasm when competing and/or when assisting with the many roles that needed filling. We had so many offers to help and not enough jobs to go around. We really appreciate your efforts.

Thank you very much to the parents that volunteered their day to assist with running some of the events. Thank you also to the parents who watched and supported our students, and for abiding by the COVID sign-in requirements. It was great to have spectators again after the quiet carnival last year. It turned out to be a cold but very successful day.
