Annual Whole School Athletics Carnival

Wisdom College recently held its annual Whole School Athletics Carnival, and it was wonderful to see so many students from Years 4 to 12 enthusiastically participating throughout the day.

Held at Col Bennett Park in Algester, the carnival featured a wide range of track and field events, including the 100m, 200m, 400m and 800m races, as well as Long Jump, Shot Put and Discus. Students showed great determination, sportsmanship and House spirit as they competed and supported one another.

There was also plenty of fun beyond the traditional events, with novelty races adding excitement to the day. One of the highlights was the House mascot race, which brought plenty of laughter and cheering from students and staff.

Our Prep to Year 3 students were also included in the celebrations. They enjoyed participating in a range of fun activities in the middle of the track, including sack races, three-legged races and other games designed especially for our younger students.

The atmosphere across the carnival was fantastic. The weather was brilliant, the music was pumping and students proudly represented their Houses with energy and enthusiasm.

A very special congratulations goes to Farabi House, who were named the overall winning House for 2026. This was a wonderful achievement and a great reflection of the teamwork and effort shown by students throughout the day.

We would like to thank all staff who helped facilitate the carnival by timing races, measuring events, supervising students and offering plenty of encouragement. Days like this would not be possible without the support and commitment of our staff.

We also extend our sincere thanks to our Sports Coordinator, Mr Ze Ferreira, for managing and leading the day. His organisation and dedication helped ensure the carnival was a successful and enjoyable experience for the entire Wisdom College community.
