2016 Athletics Carnival
From the Director of Co-Curricular, Stephen O’Donnell
The College’s House Athletics Carnival will take place on Friday 29th June, 2018 at ES Marks Athletics Field.
The emphasis of the day is participation and friendly House competition. The day is also an excellent opportunity for boys to display their talents (hidden or known) in order to gain selection in the College Athletics Team. Boys will compete in their age category.
Do not let your son stay at home even if he does not like athletics. The day is a great community and house team building occasion. Resilience is built at times when we sometimes do not want to do something.

Dress at the arena: House shirt, College shorts, House coloured garments, College cap, Sunscreen.
