Sports Day

On Friday 28th March during week 9, the school oval came alive with colour and energy as students took part in our annual Sports Day. Students and staff seen proudly representing their house teams—Ross (Red), Hewett (Yellow), Lewis (Green), and Neilsen (Blue).

In the Middle School competition, Lewis surged ahead to take the top spot with 517 points, followed by Neilsen, Ross, and Hewett. The overall results, however, told a different story. With a powerful showing in the Senior School events, Hewett claimed overall victory with 1546 points—just edging out Lewis on 1506.

Neilsen finished a strong third overall, while Ross rounded out the standings with 1107 points.

From sprint finishes to team relays and enthusiastic cheering from the sidelines, the day was a true celebration of effort, determination, and school spirit. Students and staff alike are already looking forward to next year’s fierce but friendly house competition.

Below are the individual award winners from the day, who were major contributors to their teams.

7/8 Boys & Girls - Levi Williamson (43 points) & Ruby Becker (41 points)

9/10 Boys & Girls - Declan King (59 points) & Tameka Laver (48 points)
