Athletics Carnival 2020

In the words of Crowded House, it was four seasons in one day! After facing many obstacles to get the 2020 Athletics Carnival off the ground, we conquered all the challenges and, in the end, staged a great event. The students were fantastic as always - given all that has led up to this Sports Day. Their effort, enthusiasm and participation across all Houses and year levels really made the day. There were many impressive performances on the track and in the field - too many to single out just yet, but a full report on the individual winners and their results will follow in the coming days.

Congratulations to our Overall Age Champions

Egan created a further slice of history winning both the Middle and Senior College shields as well as the overall shield - truly a credit to all involved. The other Houses definitely took it up to them with Barron finishing 2nd and O'Brien coming 3rd. Congratulations to Murphy House on winning the Spirit Shield. Their enthusiasm and chanting was exceptional. It was a pity we couldn't have parents there this year but, hopefully, we will see a bigger and better event in 2021, with all of you there.

Enormous thanks go to our enthusiastic staff who officiated, time-kept, measured and cheered for their students.

Mr "Athletics" Deegan ensured all the boys knew the drill, with some sage advice and plenty of encouragement.

While there was some very serious competition on the track and in the field, Rostrevor's Athletics Carnival is also about inclusivity and fun for all. From the sack race and tug of war to the geetah relays, there were some heroic and hilarious battles for House bragging rights.
