Jondaryan holds school athletics carnival
With clear skies and a lovely green oval, the Jondaryan State School held its annual inter-house Athletics Carnival at the end of term 2.
Due to the smaller number of enrolled students at this year’s Carnival, only a Junior and Senior School competition was run.
Eager students came dressed in their house colours of either Gold for Dennis or Maroon for Wienholt.
The day started with the march past, at which Senior Constable Brian Stenner officiated as the judge.
While it was a difficult task for our local policeman to pick a winner, Wienholt house was awarded the marching trophy for 2022.
The sporting events began with the running races; sprints, 100/200 metres and relays, by the time these races were concluded it was lunch-time.
Following lunch, the field events began which consisted of long-jump, discus and shot-put.
There were many grandparents and parents (some of whom were past students) encouraging and cheering on the students.
After the afternoon tea break, the two sporting houses battled it out in the ball games.
The rivalry continued with the Weinholt versus Dennis parents ball game some of whom were past Jondaryan students reliving their school days.
The hotly contested shield was won by the Dennis parents.
It was a nail-biting finish with a very close points tally.
Dennis defeated Weinholt with 135 points to 127.
All students are to be congratulated on their effort and sportsmanship shown on this day.
