In week one and three this term, St Mary MacKillop College held its annual Inter-House Athletics Carnival on the College grounds for the Years K-4, 5-8 and the 9-12 students, respectively. The weather contributed to a day that was once again full of House spirit, colour, athleticism, and sportsmanship.
The level of participation and House spirit was extremely impressive, with many students displaying admirable performances in both track and field events. Our students embraced the day and all who attended are to be commended for the way they represented themselves and their house.
Well done to all athletes for your endeavour on the day, your ability to perform in all individual and team events is a credit to your dedication and support of the Carnival. I would also like to extend my congratulations to the year-level champions for your excellent performances throughout the day.
Thank you to all staff, students, and parents for your support at the athletics carnivals. It show-cased not only our talented students, but also our great community at St Mary MacKillop College. We look forward to announcing the Year 7-12 ACC Athletics team soon.
Many thanks,
Brent McDonald
