The school participates in two categories of athletics competition i.e. cross-country and Track & Field.  Qualifying rounds are carried out for both categories, firstly on a regional basis, then on a Provincial basis and finally on a national basis.  Down through the years, our school has had much success at winning both individual and team medals at Provincial level.    

The nature of Cross-country and Track & Field athletics is obviously very different.  Cross-country involves only long distance running - run over different distances for the different age groups.  The shortest distance is usually around 1200 metres while the Seniors run 5000 metres.  Track & Field however has a great diversity of events e.g. sprinting, middle distance, long distance, hurdles, walking, long jump, high jump, triple jump,  shot putt, discus, javelin etc

From next year we will be keeping up to date with all competitions.  For the moment here are some Athletics photos.
