Athletics Excellence in Term 2

We've had some outstanding results in athletics this month, and all our students can be very proud of their efforts.

At the beginning of May we had several teams compete in the Athletics Victoria All Schools Road Relay Championships at Princes Park. The relay events required athleticism, discipline and team cohesion and our students displayed these wonderfully well. With a time of 37:42, our senior team were rewarded with a third-place finish in the U20 event, less than 20 seconds off the winners at 37:23.

Next up, our intrepid team of students and staff ventured down to Apollo Bay for the Great Ocean Road Running Festival on 16 May—a great opportunity for all to gain further running experience and continue to challenge themselves. Competing in the 6km and 14km races, the team posted some excellent results, with many finishing top 10 in their category. A huge congratulations to students Patrick, Isaac and William who came first in their age brackets! A shout-out also to teachers Ms Roberts, Mr Cox, Mr Sweeney and Ms Romanin who all placed in the top 3 in their category.

Our athletes continue to train hard and we look forward to more events, including the annual City2Surf, later in the year.
