This year’s Secondary Athletics Carnival was an extremely close competition between houses. A good showing of Sinai, Ararat and Zion athletes turned up for all events ensuring maximum participation points.

For the first time this year our carnival was held at Skippy Park. This change proved a success with the venue providing an excellent spectacle for onlookers and superb track and field event facilities. The competition was hard fought, and the lead between houses changed regularly. Student participation was extremely high as all present took part in the majority of events.

Congratulations to the following students who managed to break many long-standing records…

High Jump: Calista Theron
Discus: James Proud
Shot Put: Andrea Little, Ella Mickelson, Amalee McClellan
100m: Ella Mickelson, Andrea Little, Cameron Shervey, Joshua Pederson,
