On Tuesday, some of our Year 4, 5 and 6 athletes headed to Ridlins Stadium to compete in the District Athletics Competition. Despite the extremely hot weather, the team showed fantastic determination, sportsmanship and resilience throughout the day. Our Under 10 team finished in an impressive 4th place out of 15 schools, just missing out on the bronze, while overall we came 8th out of 21 schools. Despite a tumble at the start of his endurance race, Jack did not let it slow him down. He got straight back up and went on to win the race (by a lot!!) This was a fantastic example of determination and showed just how important it is never to give up. Leighton showcased his jumping talent in the long jump, earning a medal for his incredible effort. That boy must have springs in his legs. Mealie also brought home a medal after a brilliant performance in the 400m race. Meanwhile, Chloe powered her way through to the 50m sprint final, where she finished in an excellent 3rd place. A huge well done also goes to both the boys and girls relay teams, who successfully qualified for their respective finals and had such speedy changeovers! 

It was a very long and hot day, but every single child gave their all and continued to cheer each other on throughout the competition. As well as some fantastic performances, it was lovely to see so much encouragement, kindness and team spirit on display between the different year groups. Thank you for supporting one another and representing our school so brilliantly. You should all be very proud of yourselves!
