Central Counties Athletics Day
Our team performance was simply outstanding, marked by an array of top placings and remarkable achievements. An incredible 25 students have qualified to compete at the Counties Zone Athletic Competition on Tuesday 21 November. This is the largest ever squad we will be sending.
At the end of the meet we held a mini awards ceremony to announce the 2023 Central Counties Sporting Championships Overall winners. For the first time ever we were successful in winning three out of the four main cups on offer. This is an incredible milestone for our school: Central Counties Girls Champions, Central Counties Overall Champions, and Central Counties Sportsmanship Award. We are particularly proud of the Sportsmanship Award.
This remarkable achievement reflects the dedication and talent of our students and staff.
Thanks again to Miss Doran and her team of dedicated coaches, managers, volunteers (both teachers and support staff) for creating opportunities for lifelong memories for our children.
