Interschool Athletics Carnival
Held on 25 October, this was a great day. After a slow start due to all the rain overnight, our 95 athletes rebounded very well and we finished 4th out of 9 schools. Stars of the day included: Jess Francis (16+ Over Champion) Martin Geraghty (16+ Over Runner Up) Jana Blicks (15 yrs Runner Up) Keir Whitehead (13 yrs 2nd Runner Up). All participants are to be congratulated.
Thankyou to Mr Peter Barry
The Building and Construction students from Years 10 to 12 would like to thank our School Volunteer – Mr Peter Barry for his time and expertise in assisting with the delivery of Bricklaying fundamentals and skills. Mr Barry has completed 12 weeks (part time) with just over 100 students rotating through a 3 or 4 week program. This equates to delivering approximately 350 individual, assessable activities to our students. Mr Barry has achieved great respect from the students throughout the program, in its fourth year and a notable letter from the Hon Michael Mischin MLC for his contribution to the Schools Volunteer Program and Woodvale Secondary College. Mr Barry shall again retire to the golf course and follow his beloved Adelaide Crows to season’s end. Well done and thank you for your involvement.
