Kindy/Pre-Primary Sports Day
The overcast weather on Friday 15th September did not dampen the enthusiasm of the Kindy and Pre-Primary students who enjoyed a fantastic morning representing their factions in the carnival. The students all tried their best and participated with tremendous effort and excitement in many events, including the sprint races, sack races, flag races and tunnel ball. Well done to all students.
