Athletics' Carnival Success           

Our annual Athletics' Carnival was run over two dates this year owing to cold and wet weather at the end

of term 2. We thank all of the parents who were able to come along to either or indeed both of these

events to support and cheer on our students. The Carnival concluded last Friday and Ryan House won the

trophy. All of our students however must be congratulated upon their behaviour, their sporting e�orts and

their sense of community- well done, you all made us proud. We also thank those parents who helped with

the sunshade construction and pull down at the conclusion of the event.
