Newcomb SC 2021 - House Athletics

The annual house athletics carnival was conducted at Landy Field on Monday 1^st March. We operated under different conditions than usual, with new Covid-normal strategies to keep everyone safe.

Students relished the lovely weather and mild temperatures. House captains did a fantastic job keeping the enthusiasm high. The rumour is that Emily and Kasey from Wills gave extra inducements to the younger ones to encourage participation and it seemed to pay off. Wills house once again showed how strong they were.

There were some terrific efforts from competitors on the day, with Amelia, Scarlett and Emily from Harrison, Thomas from Drysdale house all participating in ten events each.

A big thank-you to the teachers who packed the gear on Friday night, arrived early to set the field up and stayed back late unloading everything at the end of the day.
