The students had already completed the throwing, jumping and rotational events during Term three.
The school weren’t sure what the weather would bring but the cooler conditions and overcast skies didn’t stop the morning events from going ahead.
It was great to see the many parents, families and friends join the school to see the children participate in sprints and relays.
The rotational activities (P-2) and field events (3-6) were held during PE classes in Term 3.
All of the Sprint Champions.
The highlight of the day was undoubtedly the smiles on the faces of the students across different parts of the day.
A fall here or there, a close win or a close loss, being resilient, being a team player, singing, helping out the teachers, enjoying recess with loved ones or supporting the younger students were just a few examples from the athletics day.
Another highlight was the Remembrance Day Ceremony led by the Year 6 leaders and Mrs. Gorman.
The year 6 boys are watched on by fellow students, teachers and parents.
All in attendance stood in silence, paying respect to the ceremony being held.
Mercy (Blue) were the winners on the day by one solitary point!
With so many points for competing on offer, it came right down to the wire between Mercy and Loreto (Gold).
Mercy and Loreto were followed closely by Fatima (Red) in 3rd and Lourdes (Green) in 4th.
The final results were as follows:
1st- Mercy (Blue) 266 points.
2nd- Loreto (Gold) 265 points.

A big thank you to Robyn Connell for doing all the scoring for the day. It’s much appreciated. SHP thank Warwick Henderson for his assistance with the line marking and Mr. Wheaton and the SH College for a loan of their speaker system.
