School Sport SA Track and Field Championship
At the end of Term 1 our combined Lower North Athletics Team travelled to Athletics SA Stadium to compete in the School Sport SA Track and Field Championship in D Grade Division 1. The Lower North Team was made up of 26 students from our school, 17 students from Burra Community School and 7 students from Riverton & District High School. In our division we were competing against Cleve, Penola, Millicient, Birdwood, Salisbury East, Moonta and Glenunga’s division 2 team. Our students had a great day out, with many picking up a 1st, 2nd or 3rd place in their events which meant we were crowned Boys, Girls and Overall Champions in our division. See below for the placings of our students.
