ATHLETICS CARNIVAL - Thursday 27th June

The carnival this year was moved back to Term Two to correlate with the Diocese Athletics Carnival. The new date meant that the carnival is now held in winter and had the potential to be a very cool day. Fortunately the weather was a fantastic winter day with tops of 20 degrees with no wind.

This year Conolly house went into the carnival with a strong lead as they hoped to win their third Carnival of the sporting calendar.

Again participation was key to Age champion titles with a number or ages being very close. In some age groups a number of valuable points went unallocated as specialty events such as the 200m, 400m, triple jump and Javelin (held at school) were pivotal when assigning Age champions. A tip for 2019 captains is to ensure all events have maximum competitors. 

The day began with a minutes applause in memory of Travis Southby, our students showed great respect during the applause as we celebrated Travis as a school community.

The 200m event was the first event of the day. As the track was damp from a previous nights rainfall this reflected a slower pace and no early records were broken despite some strong performances. Throughout the day 7 records were broken, which is remarkable as John Therry Turns 39 this year. The Long Jump saw 3 records broken, Riley Oitmann, Emmanual (Patrick) Fatialofa and Patrick Picot were remarkable. The High Jump was a spectacle as always as Patrick Picot Jumped 1.82 metres to break the under 16 Boys record. Braydon Wickey broke the under 16 boys 100m record by 0.01 of a second whilst Amber Mason won the 12 year Female 100m in record time. Finally Garang Bol cruised as he broke the 12 year boys 400m record at the end of the day. 

Conolly and Murray House had the highest percentage attendance whilst Ryan house won the participation points throughout the day that would assist in their current overall House placing. Throughout the day students would rotate between the Track and Field events in their respective age groups.

The Annual Yr 12 House Challenge had some alterations this year to give more students an opportunity to be involved. Students had to dig their house coloured wooden egg out of the sand pit before walking the wooden egg across to the target challenge (Students had to knock the egg off the ledge before completing 4 legs of the egg relay (hopping, passing, kicking the egg from end to end). The students finished the challenge in a human pyramid where the egg was thrown to the competitor on top to signify the end of the race. Murray were victorious with Conolly, Ryan and Chisholm close behind.

It was a close contest throughout the day, with the updated scores indicating that Conolly was leading over Ryan and Murray. But as the day wore on Murray House came sprinting home and with them, most of the points. Murray were particularly strong this year in the staff vs students race despite the efforts of the other 4 houses.

Final Positions:

To be announced at the next school assembly.

Congratulations to the following students on winning Age Champion for 2019
