Due to a postponement of two weeks, the Senior School Athletics Carnival was eagerly anticipated and it did not disappoint either in terms of weather or performances. A total of 17 records were broken on the day, one more than at the Middle School Carnival, and is the greatest amount of records broken at a Carnival. One of these records had stood since 2005! The Carnival was held in a great spirit and the competition on the day was fantastic.
Congratulations to Mr Parkes and Hollows House for winning their third successive Senior School Inter-House Athletics Championship Shield. They also won the Cross-Country for a third successive time this year. Hollows were convincing winners on the day, winning by over 200 points.
