What a fantastic day out at Santry for our 5th and 6th class athletes! Under clear blue skies and glorious sunshine, our students competed in a range of events, including sprints, long distance, high jump, long jump, shot putt, and relay races.
There were some brilliant performances on the day, with Sam Varzevicius taking home a gold medal in the U14 600m race after an incredible run 🥇Alice Champarnaud showed great strength and technique in the shot putt, earning a silver medal 🥈 while Piotr Weber impressed in the Race of Champions, proudly winning a bronze medal. 🥉
Many of our students came close to the podium, just narrowly missing out on medals, but they all gave their best and should be incredibly proud of their efforts. Throughout the day, every child showed great sportsmanship, determination, and team spirit.
It was also the first official outing for our new school jerseys—and they looked fantastic on the track! The students wore them with pride, representing St. Andrew’s NS with excellent behaviour and enthusiasm all day long.
A big thank you to Mrs Harper and Mrs Owens for accompanying me on the day and supporting the children so brilliantly. Huge thanks also to all the teachers involved in organising and running the heats in the lead-up to the competition.
Well done to everyone involved! 🙌
