On February 11 and 12, we opened the school year with our Middle and Senior Campus Athletics Carnivals, with our Year 7/8 students competing on day 1, followed by our Year 9–12 students on day 2. The weather went from a little overcast and drizzly for our Year 7/8s, with the Year 9-12’s battling the heat. Regardless, the students were up and about and we congratulate them for the level of participation and wonderful sportsmanship on display across all Year levels.

Congratulations to Charity House, who has triumphed once again, securing the trophy for the third consecutive year.

During our Middle Campus assembly this week, we presented our Track and Field Champions as well as our Champion Runner-Ups for the Year 7 and 8. A special commendation goes to Lewis Thorpe, who broke the Year 8 Boys Javelin record with an impressive throw of 50.6m, surpassing the previous record by 20m. This one will be in the record books for some time!

Please stay tuned for our upcoming Senior Campus assembly in week 9, where we will announce the Track and Field Champions and record breakers for Years 9-12.

On Thursday, 20th February our Year 3-6 students participated in the Primary Swimming Carnival, marking the commencement of the year's events for our primary students. Congratulations are extended to all our students who demonstrated remarkable enthusiasm and perseverance, stepping out of their comfort zones to achieve their best. Our Year 3 students deserve special recognition for overcoming initial apprehension and actively participating in their first swimming carnival, with their nervousness giving way to excitement as the day progressed.

Congratulations to the winning house, FIDES!

We express our sincere gratitude to all contributors to the successful carnival, including staff, in particular Mrs White, the Year 10 students assisting, swimmers, and our dedicated parents who provided enthusiastic support and helped create a vibrant atmosphere.

Representative teams will be selected from our carnival results, to represent the College at JSATIS (Year 4-6) and STCPSSA (Year 3-6) Inter School swimming carnivals later this month.
