Annual athletics carnival

Students from both campuses of Brisbane Water Secondary College recently engaged in a day and a half of athletics in the annual carnival at Umina campus and at McEvoy Oval.

"Competing in all track and field events in a tabloid arrangement, students enjoyed some impressive performances," according to college principal Mr Pat Lewis.

"One of the highlights of the full-day event was the staff versus student relay.

"The students fielded two very strong teams including Paul Steel, Aku Uate, Tim Bovis, and Junior Qata but they were just pipped at the post by an extremely fleet footed staff team of young and fit PE teachers which included Nathan Ward, Mark Rae, John Cobham and Mr Osborne."

Student Age Champions decided on the day included Robert Cross and Rachel O'Sullivan for the 12 years, Jason Hayward and Cody Bovis for the 13 years, Jay Pilson and Amanda Thorpe for the 14 years, Kevin Moore and Siobhan Stanton for the 15 years, Brendan Bahagiah and Kate Pursehouse for the 16 years and Aku Uate and Cassie Deige for the 17 years.

College students will now go on to compete in the Zone event on Monday, June 27.
