Junior House Athletics Carnival

31/07/2024

On Wednesday 24 July, the sun finally shone through and so too the performances of our Junior School boys at the annual House Athletics Carnival. In one of the closest carnivals in years, the competition was intense with in some cases, only a couple of points separating the houses. In the end though, it was Berg House who clinched first place, with Rice, Coghlan, Hickey, Crichton and Hanrahan following closely behind. Congratulations to all the boys in Berg!

There were many great individual performances on the day, with two records being broken by Malietau Davis (Year 5) in the following throwing events:

  • 11 Years Discus 26.02m (old record 20.20m)
  • 11 Years Shot Put 10.88m (old record 9.91m)

What an outstanding achievement!

We also congratulate the following Age Champions for 2024:

  • 10 years – Jaidyn Shehadie (Year 5)
  • 11 years – William Symonds (Year 5)
  • 11 years – Alexander Voysey (Year 6)
  • 12 years – Christian Piccin (Year 6)

Well done to all the boys who attended and participated; you created a fantastic atmosphere and made the carnival enjoyable for all involved.

Thank you to all the staff for their hard work, the parents for coming out to support their sons and our groundsman for the preparation of the field.
