The MacKillop Athletics Carnival was at Sydney Olympic Park on Wednesday 21 September. Congratulations to our Year 4 athletes James and Jack. James showed a great deal of strength in the shotput and Jack showed great endurance in the 1500m. Well done to Lucas who came 7th in the 100m final and Eli who gave it his all in a nail biting run, awarding him 4th place in the 800m. Chloe performed very well in all of her events and will now continue on to the NSWPSSA State Athletics Championships. Congratulations Chloe on finishing 3rd place in the senior girls 800m. Both the senior boys and girls relay teams made it through to the finals and powered home just like they had done in the many practice runs that they trained so hard for. Out of a whopping 16 teams, the Senior boys finished 7th place overall and the Senior girls team in 6th place overall. Senior Boys Team: Hugo, Thomas, Eli and Lucas. Senior Girls Team: Mackenzie, Bella, Annabelle and Chloe. Congratulations to all of our MacKillop athletes, we are very proud of you!

Year 1 have been busy creating dioramas for different animals. They needed to do some research to find out about their chosen animal, which they then reported on and used this information to create amazing and functional habitats. What animals can you spot?!? 🦁🐍🦒🐼🦘
