Last Thursday, we held our annual sports day incorporating some multicultural celebrations in the lead up to the 2016 Rio De Janeiro Olympics this
year. This involved classes participating in a cultural “mini-theme” in the
week leading up to sports day. Each class chose a country and a student to
represent their class as ambassador. Each class made their relevant country’s flag and a plate of food to share on the day.
It was a great day for all. The ambassador from each class looked spectacular in their country’s dress as they participated in the torch relay around
the oval. Our students displayed great sportsmanship as they participated
in a range of sports activities throughout the day. The day started with our
field events, followed by rotation events and culminated in cross-country. I
