Last Tuesday on the 4th of May, the EISM Athletics Carnival was held at the Lakeside Stadium in Albert Park. It was a cold and windy day, but in the wet and slippery conditions our team put on an amazing performance. Over 70 Huntingtower students competed on the day, and as a team they placed fourth overall and second for most improved which is a wonderful result against the larger schools!
Over 50 members of the team were invited to the EISM Champions Carnival, which took place on Monday the 10th of May.
