Archdiocesan Athletics report

The Archdiocesan Athletics Carnival was held on Tuesday 23 August at AIS Track and Field Stadium in Canberra. We were met with freezing cold conditions and rain which persisted throughout the day. The students did an amazing job of getting ready for their races and performing to the best of their ability despite the freezing conditions. 

We had 17 students qualify for the CCC Athletics Carnival in Sydney later in the term. Congratulations to - Michael Aitken, Beau Armstrong, Zane Brady, Erin Drewson, Indi Follett, Luke Gallen, Will Grant, Jordyn Holzhauser, Hannah Kobold, Lori Kobold, Sahara Koushal, Kaylee Lloyd, Angus Lyons, Pypar McCarthy, Kodi Perkins, Will Tiffen and Leah Westol. 

I would also like to acknowledge the outstanding efforts of our senior Sports Coaching students who helped out tirelessly during the day - Jazelle Reidy, Noah Reid, Malaki Moreton, Leah Westol, Afton Haultain, Max Buckley, Ella Crow, Tanesha Dennis, Islay McLeod, Grace Ralston, Maddison Druett, Matt Cox, Sam Wise, Isaac Slockee and Kiearra Te-kowhai. 

Thanks to all our parents who came and supported the students on the day. And finally a big thanks to our staff - Mr Brady, Mr Hallett, Mr Hadley, Mrs Paull and Mrs Drewson who also assisted on the day.
