Over the first two weeks of term, St James’ students took part in the Interhouse Athletics Carnivals. For the first time ever, the carnivals were split into sub-schools. This allowed a focussed and specialised approach, resulting in some outstanding performances.

It was a tight race for House points, with Eglinton  (Junior School) and Sydney (Senior School) taking out the final trophies. Well done to all students for showing great sportsmanship and healthy competition throughout the events.
