Prep to Year 2 Athletics Carnival

Well done to all students in Prep to Year 2 who participated in the athletics carnival on Monday afternoon. It was fantastic to see so many smiling faces having a go at the various athletic events. It was exciting to see the level of athletic ability in some of our youngest students and the future looks promising as these student’s progress through the school.

Congratulations to Wira house who were crowned the 2021 champions. The final scores at the end of the carnival were:

Bula – 772

Mumba – 902

Wira – 910

Monday’s carnival was a significant event in the College’s history as this will be the last time there will be only three houses competing in a sports carnival. Next year we will see the addition of our fourth house to sports carnivals.
