Athletics Carnival

Jason Carpenter

We started the day with the 1500 m races, followed by 200 m races and then the field events. Students moved around the carnival in their age groups competing for House points and the opportunity to represent the College at the Broken Bay Athletics Carnival. To break this up the boys came back to the velodrome in the middle of the day for a lunch break and the running of the 400 m races. The boys then returned to the final field events before returning to the velodrome for the 100 m finals and the relays.

A big thank you to both staff and students present on the day. The staff are just fantastic at getting in and keeping the day running, despite the fact we had no power for much of the carnival. The students’ behaviour and participation were, by far the best I have seen in my time at the College.

Unfortunately, due to COVID-19 restrictions the BBSSSA and CCC carnivals did not go ahead.
