There were concerns prior to the start of the Carnival that rain would spoil the day. However, with only a small, light shower mid-morning the weather was excellent with little wind. The Carnival was held in a great spirit and the competition on the day was fantastic, Students exerting themselves in the pursuit of winning. A total of 16 records were broken on the day and a record for any Carnival held at Peter Moyes. Two of these records had stood since 2002!
Congratulations to Florey House for winning the Middle School Inter-House Athletics Championship Shield. Florey House have now won all Inter-House trophies this year!
