St Joseph'sCatholic Primary & Nursery School
Year 5 Success at Area Sports!
With all of of our Year 6 children attending secondary school transition this week, it was up to our Year 5 representatives to fly the St Joseph's flag in this year's Area Sports held at Brymore School, Cannington.
With the whole team of 8 girls and 8 boys competing a year under age, the task was always going to be a difficult one but the St Joseph athletes did not disappoint! Each member of the team competed in a 75m hurdles race, a 400m race, a 75m sprint, a standing triple jump and a vortex howler throw! The event ended with team relays and some very tired children!
Spirits were high throughout the competition and it was great to see such comradery coming from everyone in the group. We were competitive in all the events which is quite remarkable considering we were competing against much older and bigger children! A magnificent team effort saw us finish in 6th place out of 8 teams and sets the foundations for next year's event when the team will be a year older and a year stronger. Brilliant effort from all of you!!
