Athletics Sports Carnival
On May 1st, students and staff attended the annual Athletics Sports Carnival at Knox Athletics Track. The cold weather, did not dampen the spirits of the students throughout the day. It was terrific to see students and staff representing their house’s including colours from colourful outfits and body paint.
Congratulations to all athletes who participated and were awarded vital points for their house. We witnessed outstanding results, with plenty of students taking away multiple blue ribbons and booking their spot in the 2017 Mooroolbark College Athletics team.
The novelty events were a new addition to this year’s carnival and were a hit. These events included the egg and spoon race, three-legged race and capture the flag, the atmosphere was electric all day.
The race for the house carnival champion was looking tight between Yellow and Blue house throughout the individual races, however, Yellow house was a force to be reckoned with after cruising to victory in the relay races.
Well done to Mr Bell and Yellow house for winning the Athletics carnival.
Hundreds of students used the opportunity to dress up in house colours and creative outfits to show their support for their House. Many took the trouble to co-ordinate fashions and some spectacular war paint and hired outfits were on show.
A special thanks to the staff who displayed such wholehearted involvement supporting the day, joining in with all that was offered.
Photos from the day will be available on W Drive and our College website which show the dedication and innovations that were a highlight and greatly added to the carnival atmosphere of the day.
Congratulations to all students and staff for participating and making 2017 another successful Mooroolbark College Athletics Carnival.
