Athletic Sports 2010

Held on Friday 19 February 2010

Athletics Day 2010 was a windy but exciting day for all involved. I was very impressed by the determination and effort displayed and also the wonderful behaviour of all students. A special mention must go to the house captains and their senior support crew, who did everything asked of them and more. We asked for higher standards and they certainly delivered on many fronts: helping out with the many tasks in setting up, giving out sunscreen, being great role models to the juniors, as well as giving it everything in the events and finally the clean up and packing up at the end of the day.

It was also very encouraging to see large numbers of junior students competing to the best of their ability and giving many different events a try. This is the standard we want all school-wide sporting events to be operating at and we ask for more of the same for the Cross Country held early in Term 2. A very promising team has been selected for the zones coming up this week and we wish them all the best in the upcoming competition. A big 'thank you' once again to our tireless staff, in contributing to the on-going success of the day.
