SPORTS DAY

The day started with the Health Hustle and Chants led by the House Captains. The Wallabies and Wombats had a great start to Sports Day, winning the points for the best dancing and chants.

Classes then moved off to the tabloid events. We added some new and popular events this year: Washing Day and Tribal Challenge II for the primary classes and Water Relay for the Junior Primary.

During the lunch break we had our chicken throwing competition for the adults. Richard Hill managed to reclaim his crown, while Sarah Harris took out the honours for the women.

After lunch, we had our championship events: the sprints, R-7 relay, captains’ relay, staff v captains novelty relay and tug-of-war.

The Wombat's won the R-7 relay, whereas it was the Kookaburra's who took the honours in the tug-of-war.

Then Captains’ Relay was won by ???? and the Captains managed to narrowly beat the staff in The Beanbag Relay.

We finished the day off with the presentation of the trophies. Congratulations to the Wombats on winning the Attitude Trophy and to the Wallabies for winning the Championship Cup.

A big thank you to the following groups of people:

The Sports Committee: Mrs Mueller, Mrs Trengove, Mr Gully, Mr Johnson and Mrs Niland for giving up much of their own time to help me with the planning, organisation and running of the day.

The rest of the Coro staff who helped to prepare their classes, set up equipment, paint lines, administer first aid, score, run events, take photos and do the multitude of jobs in the front office. Sports Day truly relies on the efforts of the whole school.

The many parents and grandparents who volunteered their time baking, cooking, serving, cleaning and assisting teachers with class organisation at the events.

Families for coming and making the day special for the children.

The House Captains who worked hard on many jobs in preparation for Sports Day. They painted wooden eggs, pinned ribbons, choreographed the Health Hustle, helped set up the equipment for the tabloid events and organised their teams for the sprints and relays.

And last, but not least, all of the children for their great sporting attitude and wonderful enthusiasm throughout the day.
