The students in years 3-6 had already completed their throwing, jumping and rotational events during PE classes this term.
The rotational athletics activities for P-2 were also held during the term. It was great to see many parents, guardians, families and friends join in at the school to see the children participate in sprints and relays.
The highlight of the day was undoubtedly the smiles on the faces of students across different parts of the day.
A fall here or there, a close win or a close loss, being resilient, being a team player, singing, helping out the teachers, enjoying recess with loved ones or supporting the younger students were just a few examples from the athletics day.
Loreto (Gold) took the mantle from Mercy (Blue) this year after going down last year by one solitary point!
Mercy, 2nd and Lourdes 3rd (Green) were only separated by 0.03 of a point.
Fatima (Red) finished in 4th position.
The scores are averaged out by the number of competitors participating on the day and field/rotational events during the term.
The final results were as follows:
1st- Loreto (Gold) 268.79 points.
2nd- Mercy (Blue) 257.83 points.
3rd- Lourdes (Green) 257.80 points
4th- Fatima (Red) 250.94 points
Loreto captains, Billie-Jo Buerckner and Mitchell Smith were presented with the winning shield and thanked everyone in their speeches.
A big thank you to all the staff and year 6 leaders for their help, support and assistance during and after the carnival. It’s much appreciated.
The school thank Warwick Henderson for his assistance with the line marking and Mr. Wheaton and the SH College for a loan of their speaker system.
The children are to be congratulated on their efforts, good spirit and support of each other on the day. Great stuff!
