The NMR Athletics Carnival, held at Meadowglen Athletics Track in Epping on 9 September, was a successful day despite recording our lowest attendance in many years, with approximately 22 students participating. Unfortunately, several students were unable to attend at the last minute due to unforeseen circumstances.

While the cold and windy conditions presented an additional challenge, they did not stop a number of our students from achieving outstanding results and earning medals. All participants experienced a higher level of competition, which provided valuable insight into the standards required at this level. For many, it was an eye-opening experience and one they thoroughly enjoyed, helping them identify areas to focus on as they strive for even greater success in the future.

Congratulations to all students who represented the school and gave their best effort throughout the day.

A special thank you to Mr James Ryan for his ongoing support, and to our Year 2 Sport and Recreation students, Macy Gillett, Keeley Deveraux and Matilda Donald, for their assistance in managing the girls' triple jump event. Their contribution provided a valuable hands-on learning experience which could lead to bigger and better things in the future.

Well done to everyone involved on a day that showcased resilience, teamwork and determination.
