The sports carnival has soccer, netball, softball and football with Vic Park facilities used for netball and football.
Both schools thank the local Netball association, the Yarra Mul Cricket Club and Moira Shire for the use of the amazing courts, ovals and facilities.
The sun shone bright too which made the day an enjoyable one for all involved at the carnival.
Year 6 Boys Division One winners.
Shout out also to some of the footy boys from Sacred Heart and Yarrawonga College P-12 who had to deal with swooping plovers in the first 10 mins at the start of the day.
The Sacred Heart College students came to their rescue with some distractions and protection.
Sacred Heart Primary and the Yarrawonga P-12 College accommodated both the softball and soccer teams at their schools, which was appreciated.
The highlight of the day was seeing the hundreds of students, families, staff, parents, friends and grandparents supporting, cheering and watching the students enjoy being out and about at the different venues.
The premiership was grateful to have some yummy canteen, food and drink choices thanks to the Lions Club, Sweet & Sour Sisters and the P-12 College P&F.
The schools also thank Jason Whiteley for co-ordinating the softball, Jason Bassett the soccer and Carolyn Willett, Dean Carroll for the netball and footy and bringing the day together and Phil Conway and the Yarrawonga Football Club for a loan of some football jumpers for the Year Five players.
