Gurabang and Ngadyung houses took out the cups for this year's Athletics Carnival, which was held at the Australian Institute of Sport's Athletics Track on Tuesday 20 May.
Students got involved by dressing up in their House themes, cheering throughout the day, participating in track and field events, and taking part in novelty events.
In the end, Gurabang was awarded the Championship Cup, bringing to an end Ngadyung's seven-year run as Athletics Champions. That they took out the title by only eight points showed how closely-fought this year's carnival was.
Ngadyung did manage to take home silverware, in the form of the Spirit Cup, which rewarded their participation and spirit on the day.
Congratulations to all students for their high level of participation, spirit, and displays of athleticism.
St Mary of the Cross MacKillop made the statement: “We are but travellers here, so while we are here we should do as much good as we can and live in peace with each other.”
With this in mind, the College respectfully acknowledges the Ngunnawal people who are the Traditional Custodians and First People of the land on which we gather each day. The College also pays its respects to the Elders past, present and emerging, and any other Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander peoples living and working in the MacKillop community.
