The Primary School Sports Day (Year 3-7) is conducted on a participation basis with all children encouraged to take part in all events, except the Championship Sprints and Team Relays. These events are contested by the fastest runners from each year level.

Although the main emphasis is on enjoyment, improving personal performances, skill development, fitness and participation by all, the Primary section of the school (Year 3-7) competes in a House competition. All children contribute points to their House for each event in which they participate.

Once again, the Junior Primary  used TriSkills for their activities (R-Yr2).  The feedback from staff, students and parents was once again very positive. The activities were based on skill development, fun and participation by all. Nevertheless, the students were very keen to succeed and they tried very hard to achieve their best.

2003 Final Results

This year's result was extremely close, with the leading House changing throughout the day. At the end of the events, when all the scores were added up, it was a victory to Chandler. Up until this year, Chandler had been victorious on only two occasions, 1987 and 1998. So there was much jubilation in the red camp when the scores were announced.

The school would like to thank all of the parents who assisted in any way on Sports Day. Without their willing support many aspects of Sports Day would not be possible. Parents help record, score, measure and time many events as well as assist in the canteen and stalls.

Congratulations also to the dedicated House Captains who worked so tirelessly in the weeks leading up to Sports Day. Their organization and leadership skills  were greatly appreciated on Sports Day itself.

Thanks must also go to all of the staff for their efforts with organisation and scoring, and to Mike Lane (Grounds-person) and his crew for their excellent work in preparing the oval for the day.
