Junior Interhouse Athletics Carnival

Following a fantastic start to the athletics season, marked by strong attendance at our early morning athletics program, the enthusiasm among the Junior School students was evident. Ready to showcase their skills, our Year 4-6 students eagerly took to the Gold Coast Performance Centre, a world-class facility that provided the perfect setting for their events. The students were excited to run, jump, and throw, setting the stage for a day of impressive performances and spirited competition. The high standard of the venue inspired our young athletes, ensuring a day filled with notable achievements and memorable moments.

The day not only brought great house spirit but also highlighted the outstanding athletic ability of our students.
