The Regional Athletics Carnival was held at the Australian Institute of Sport in Canberra on 2 Sept.

Several students from Helensburgh Public School represented North Wollongong district: Jonesy H; Bronte D; Ruby M; Eden E; Kelsey H; Harlem FK; Jayden B; Blake N; Dominick R; Cameron B; Jackson F; Ethan E; Mila B; Emily P; Archie F; and Zahlee T.

Our fantastic results included three of our four relay teams making it to state! Senior boys won; Junior boys and junior girls came in 3rd. Harlem FK (Junior boys 800m) and Blake N (11 years long jump) made it through for individual events.

We are very proud of all the students and are excited to see how they go at the State Athletics Carnival at Sydney International Athletic Centre in Olympic Park on 19 and 20 October.
