On Friday we celebrated another successful Sports Day.  

To begin the day, we all met on the oval, where the house captains warmed their teams up with the Health Hustle and Chants. Children, staff and visiting family members, all dressed up in team colours, made a great scene. 

We then move off to the tabloid events. It was great to see students showing off their sporting abilities, having fun and participating in healthy competition. It was also terrific to see the impeccable behaviour and sportsmanship displayed by our students. 

After lunch, we had our championship events: the sprints, the relays and tug-of-war. 

The Wallabies won the R-6 relay as well as The Captains’ Relay. 

Wombats took the honours in the Year 6 tug-of-war and the Kookaburras managed to win the Captains’ 4-way tug-of-war. 

We finished the day off with the presentation of the trophies. Congratulations to the Kookaburras on winning the Attitude Trophy and to the Wallabies for winning the Championship Cup for the second year in a row. 

A big thank you to the following groups of people: 

• The Sports Committee: Mrs Mueller, Mrs Trengove, Mr Philp, Mr Johnson 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 House Captains who worked hard on many jobs in preparation for Sports Day. They helped teach the school the Chants and Health Hustle, set up and pack away equipment for the tabloid events and organised their teams for the sprints and relays. 
• Families for coming and making the day special for the children. 

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

We hope everyone enjoyed the day!
