A Day of Triumph and Team Spirit at La Birpa Athletics Track Bendigo South East College was abuzz with energy and enthusiasm at the La Birpa Athletics Track for this year’s Athletics Carnival.
A full day of competitive spirit saw students compete in a variety of track and field events including high jump, long jump, triple jump, shot put, and javelin, alongside races ranging from 100 metres to 1500 metres. The 100 metre relays were particularly exciting, drawing plenty of cheers from an animated crowd.
For those not competing, Mr Flint organised a series of activities such as badminton, NFL throw and catch, spike ball, volleyball, and quoits, ensuring everyone had a chance to be involved and enjoy the day.
The day culminated with Fortuna House narrowly clinching the overall house championship, edging out Rosalind. It was a close contest that highlighted the dedication and prowess of all our competitors.
