Lyndhurst Secondary College had a fun Athletics’ Carnival at Casey Fields on Monday 22 July.

One of the biggest events of the school calendar year, the carnival covered multiple track and field events.

A fundraising barbecue for the State Schools’ Relief, an organisation that supports students with uniforms and other essentials, added to the atmosphere of the day.

The most eye-catching element on the ground had to be the Year 12 students’ creative dress-up.

“Year 12 students were permitted to dress up. This is their final year, so they had a bit of fun and we’ve got a great video of them running that race together all dressed up,” the school’s marketing and communication coordinator Sinead Fay said.

“We had a cow. We had a horse. We had a few different ones. The horse won in the end.

“It was a really great day.”

The school principal Eloise Haynes, and sports teachers Ryan Outhred and Schenelle Bronkhorst helped organise the day.
