Athletics Carnival – Results

Our school lit up the Sylvania Athletics Track on Friday with a carnival full of colour, competition and community spirit. Sunshine warmed the day while a cold wind kept athletes sharp, but nothing could dampen the enthusiasm on display.

Students filled the venue with chants, banners and nonstop encouragement, showing incredible house spirit from the first race to the final relay.

Events were fiercely contested, with our students giving their all across track and field. Just as impressive was the strong participation from every year group, making the day a true whole school effort.
