Chalmers Wins House Athletics

Chalmers is definitely on a winning streak - having won the House Swimming earlier in the term for the second year in a row, they’ve now added House Athletics to the trophy cabinet for the second year running!

Held over two stunning days, the students embraced the spirit and took on as many events as possible to gain House points for participation and, for some, further points for success.

The first day of track and field gave all our students the opportunity to participate, each choosing their own preferred events. With finalists decided for the key track events, by the second day, the fields were a riot of House colours as students gathered trackside to cheer on and support the 100m finalists and relay teams. The much-anticipated prefect, Bruce House and staff relay concluded the morning races. The staff team managed to cross the finish line first - due to a rather sneaky head start - followed closely by Bruce House.

With the points tallied across two days, Chalmers retained their title as Athletic Champions. Congratulations to Cecile Velghe (Senior Girls), Jade Nomani (Junior Girls) and Timothy Wallace (Year 8 Boys) who all retained their 2019 age group titles and to the Girls’ School students who performed exceptionally well.

Well done to all the students who participated. We wish our Zone qualifiers all the best as they prepare for their next competition.

Thank you to all staff who stood in the scorching heat to time, measure and record!
