Middle School Inter-House Athletics Carnival

The busy 2017 Athletics season was kicked off by the Middle School Inter-House Carnival. The carnival was host to some excellent performances from all students involved across many events. There was plenty of House pride and cheering on of all students throughout the day.

There were two records broken both in Shot Put. Oliver Gray (6.2C) threw 8.95m to break a record from 2011. Seamus Walton (7.2H) threw 10.74m to break a long standing record which was set back in 1981.

The overall standings for the day were as follows:

Gordon 1638

Robert 1419

Bruce 1389

Andrew 1279

James 1273

David 1236


Thank you to the Scotch Pipe and Drums parents who provided toasties, sweet treats and drinks throughout the day. It was great to see so many parents and family members come down to spectate; I hope you all enjoyed the carnival.
