Sports Day!!
A great day was had by both teachers and staff at our Annual
First Years Sports Day.
A lot of time and effort went into organising the event,
being expertly coordinated by Mr Fennell and the teaching staff at St Mary’s.
On a glorious summer day, all first year students attended
the event held in the grounds of our neighbouring school, St Laurence’s.
Students proved themselves to be excellent participants in a
wide ranging number of events. Events involved included the 100 metres,
400 metres, 400 metres relay, dart throwing, penalty shootout, egg and spoon
race, tug of war and of course the three legged race! Ms Morrin also lended her
unique expertise to the potato picking competition…
Winning participants were awarded medals by Principal Ms
Greene at the closing of the day. However, as the Principal remarked, everyone
who got involved was a success; - even those teachers who bravely got involved
in the three legged race!
It was also wonderful to see the primary students from St Laurence’s
attend, and get involved in some fun events themselves.
Below are some pictures of our great day out. Hopefully the
sun will shine as bright next year!
