The weather contributed to a day that was once again full of House spirit, colour, athleticism, and sportsmanship.
It was a successful day with all the MacKillop students producing gallant performances in every event. The female contingent was extremely strong on the day with the likes of Madeline Harvey, Olive Reynolds and Macey Bird-Atkinson dominating the U13 Girls with consistent top three placings throughout the day. In the U15s Violet Reynolds was accompanied by Ella Mullally, Samantha Hill and Mia Hughes and absolutely dominated the 4x50m Freestyle Relay.
