Champions Challenge

Yesterday the St Michael’s Athletics team competed in the Champions Challenge athletics carnival at Cornerstone College. This is a fantastic day where students from Spring Head, Lobethal, Unity, St Marks and St Michael’s compete in both track and field for the ‘Inter Lutheran Champions Challenge’ shield.

For the past 3 weeks our team has been spending their recess and lunch times practicing for their individual events. Their hard work and dedication was rewarded yesterday with fantastic performances and uniforms that were decorated with Blue, Red and Green ribbons.

The last time St Michael’s won this event was 2004 and for the past 12 years Unity and St Mark’s have been the teams to beat. After numerous runner up finishes in the past few years it was time for the St Michael’s team to shine and yesterday we won the event finishing 12 points in front of Unity.

What a team #1

I would like to congratulate all of the students on a fantastic effort, Ms Rowett for her help on the day and all the parents who came to support our team and assist with the events on the day.

Hopefully we can retain the shield in 2017.

Mr. Phillips
