On Wednesday 2 November the whole school went down to Lloyd Elsmore Athletics track for our annual Athletics day.

The weather wasn't great but the rain held off for most of the day. We held both track and field competitive events in which we had huge participation numbers from across the school. Other fun activities were also planned during the day including gum boot throwing, three legged race, dragon racing and an egg and spoon race, which ensured all students participated on the day. 

It was a hugely successful day with lots of students qualifying for the South Eastern Zone athletics event to be held tomorrow.
