After excelling on the track and field last week, St Joseph’s Parish School students will find out which house is the 2025 sports day champion at assembly this Friday.

Students ran, jumped and threw their way around Andoom Oval in a range of athletic disciplines on 5 June, with Embley, Mission and Pine all offering up stellar performances during the day.

The Weipa students were joined in the sunshine by Kluthuthu Christian College, and a St Joseph’s Parish School spokesperson praised the junior athletes for demonstrating tremendous sportsmanship, even while locked in the heat of battle.

“The students demonstrated the school values throughout the whole athletics carnival – justice, compassion and humility,” the spokesperson said.

“They encouraged each other throughout all the events and supported their teammates.”
