Our Vasse student started Term 4 with great enthusiasm and positive energy for the much-anticipated Faction Sports Carnival week.
During the first week of Term 4, we had our Jumps and Throws events and on Friday 11 October, we had our Track and Team Games events.
The Jumps and Throws Events consisted of Year 1 – 6 students competing in Long Jump and/or Triple Jump and Throws (the furthest).
Friday’s Athletics Carnival weather was superb. The track events were impressive to witness. The boys and girls across all age groups displayed some amazing performances. All students participated in the sprint running event and should be praised for their positive attitude and phenomenal efforts.
Special mention to the Sustainability Green Team who promoted a sustainable Sports Carnival to reduce single-use items (such as streamers and pom poms) by purchasing hairspray and zinc to decorate students and parents for a gold coin donation to the P&C. This way they were able to recycle the aerosol cans correctly. The reduction in rubbish at the end of the carnival was also notable.
Once again, well done to all our Vasse students for all your efforts on the day and your ability to perform in all individual and team events.
A Big THANK YOU to all our Vasse PS Staff, students, and parents, especially the Vasse PS P&C and Lexie and Shannon in the canteen, parents who baked for the P&C Cake stall, and parent volunteer helpers for your ongoing support at the Faction Sports (Athletics) Carnival.
Well done to Djidong winning faction for 2024 and the Vasse Primary Champions and Runner-Ups.
