Athletics Day 2024
On Friday May 10 at Keilor Park Athletics Track, the annual St Albans Secondary College Athletics Day was held for the Year 7 – 10 students. It was a cloudy day but that didn’t stop the students from bringing their best on the track and field!
The VCE VM students put on an amazing BBQ for the students to keep their energy levels up and compete in the range of events that were taking place. Students from all year levels filled the participation sheets for events such as the 100m sprint, long jump, discus, high jump and shotput.
The House Team put on a range of additional events for the students who were able to gain a huge amount of house points with each activity they participated in. The limbo was a crowd favourite, with everyone keen to get involved and show their skills. The annual tug-of-war competition was extremely competitive, with the Rosewall students competing against the teachers for the crown, however it was the teachers who showed their prowess and came away with the win.
After the events, the House team tally was as follows:
Overall the day was a huge success and, even with the muddy conditions on and around the track, the students were still able to enjoy the festivities and show off their athletic abilities. Well done to all that were involved in the preparation and running of the day.
