A magnificent winter day greeted students to our first Combined College Athletics Carnival!
Westport Campus and Port Macquarie Campus came together as a college for our first combined College Sports Carnival.
Attendance was fantastic and we were thrilled at the level of student interaction. Participation and House spirit were clear throughout the day. All students are to be commended for achieving their personal best, it was a huge, but truly inspiring day!
The 2022 winning Houses were Kula (Westport Campus) and Shelley (Port Macquarie Campus).
The competition in some events was fierce. We witnessed some outstanding individual achievements.

A massive thank all our staff and students for making the carnival a great success. It is only through positive participation, hard work and putting students first that our athletics carnival runs so well.
Special mention to our dedicated staff members Michael Sanderson and Todd Dalton, our Athletics Carnival organisers for this College event.
