Sports Day here in Australia was not all that dissimilar to the Oxford variety - a series of event stations manned by parents and teachers, between which the different groups of students rotated during the day.
It was a little more competitive, though. Whereas the St Christopher's sports day was hardly more than sports-like games and activities, with only the winning team being announced, Lawson at least was an athletics carnival, and embraced the running, the jumping and the throwing in the traditional manner.
In addition, the winners and runners-up in their age groups go on to the District Carnival later in the year, where there will be further striving towards the Zone Carnival and beyond.
So congratulations to Zac, first in the 10s Discus, and also for winning his heat in the 200m - as the top action shot above shows. Wow, I got one in focus!
Sadly, Tash wasn't quite as thrilled as Zac with the way the day panned out. When she heard that she was going to a carnival, she assumed the obvious.
Consequently, the lack of sweets, fairy floss and rides was a bit of a downer.
Ant.
