Give it a go
The Middle and Senior School House Athletics Carnival is one of the biggest events on the calendar, and last week, we had a fantastic display of participation and house spirit at Marrara. The day was packed with colourful costumes, smiling faces, friendly competition, and loads of fun. The individual performances of many students on the track and field were quite extraordinary. They were well balanced by the laughter and “give it a go” attitude in the many novelty events. Fashions on the Field and the Dizzy Race were new additions to the novelty events, and their popularity could see inclusion in future years. The level of competition was fierce, and every House put in considerable effort to fill every event. Age champions in the Middle School were Teneiya (Year 7 Girls), Rokith (Year 7 Boys), Abbey (Year 8 Girls), Will (Year 8 Boys), Bronte (Year 9 Girls), and Jacob (Year 9 Boys). Congratulations to Baru House for winning the entire competition.
We look forward to seeing further participation and house spirit in our busy calendar throughout the rest of Term 2 and beyond.

Head of Middle School
