OVERALL Aggregate – 2nd
“A Huge congratulations to Mr Durham and his team for finishing a best ever Second place at the event, only being overtaken by Ballarat Grammar, but notably beating traditionally strong Athletic schools in Goulburn Valley Grammar, Girton Grammar and Gippsland Grammar. Mr Durham and his staff did a wonderful job in motivating and managing the students at Lakeside State Athletics Centre and it all resulted in a magnificent result, our best since our first ICCES Athletics Carnival in 2012.
As well as the fantastic finishing result, our students were fantastic representatives of, not only our school, but also what as a school we hold strongly, our school values. A highlight for me was seeing one of our Middle School students assist a fallen runner at the conclusion of her event and making sure that the girl was not hurt and “ok”, clearly demonstrating our school value of kindness, and the respect our students showed fellow competitors, track officials and staff was outstanding.” – Mr Perks
A special mention to Leila S (10F) on winning the Year 10 Girls Age Group Champion Award.

Leila was named Athlete of the Meet at the recent ACS Athletics Carnival held on Monday 26 May. She had an exceptional day on the track, claiming victory in the 90m Hurdles and 200m, and placing second in a fiercely contested 100m sprint. Leila then dominated the field events, taking out both the High Jump and Triple Jump. Congratulations to Leila on an outstanding all-round performance!
Elsie P (Year 8)
Elsie (pictured left) represented the RDFNL at the 2025 Netball Association Championships over the weekend, where her team placed 4th overall, narrowly missing out on a top-three finish after a close 1-goal loss to the leading side. Elsie continues to refine her skills through consistent training and competition with both the Eynesbury Eagles and VU Vultures at Parkville. Well done, Elsie!
