Tyndale just edge ahead of Newton to claim the House Athletics!
With Term 4 only just getting underway, Week 2 rolled around quickly and the time for the much-anticipated House Athletics Carnivals had arrived.
On Monday 16 October 2023, under clear skies and with a hot, but not unbearable day with mercury in the mid 30s, the Field Events and 800m events were held at Langford Park Sporting Complex.
A slightly cooler change heralded a beautiful day in the mid 20s for the Track and Team Events on Wednesday 18 October 2023.
There were some outstanding individual performances across both carnivals which were recognised with special awards:

Well done to all students who participated and represented their House by competing in the field, track, or team events. Special thanks to Mrs Narelle Henderson for her support and assistance with all carnivals. Thank you to all the staff for their invaluable help in assisting the carnivals to flow so well. Once again, it was great to see so many parents and extended family members taking time out to enjoy the carnivals. It is always a joy to see our Primary School communities support our students in their athletics endeavours. We are very thankful for two very enjoyable and successful athletics carnivals – to God be the glory!
