On Wednesday, all of the Grade 3’s,4’s,5’s and 6’s went to the Appin Park Athletics Centre for our athletics day. We arrived early so we could have a whole day of athletics. We were divided into our age groups and gender. Some of the events that we participated in were discus, shotput, 80m sprint, hurdles, 200m, high jump, long jump and triple jump. After all of the events were completed we began our relay races. Throughout the day we were fortunate enough to have some volunteers from Galen College, who helped run a number of events. Some of the students who did really well participated in the Zone Athletics, where they competed against other school’s from the North East (some even making it to Regionals). It was a fun and enjoyable day.
