In a busy two weeks, the College hosted its second major sporting carnival with House Athletics yesterday.
A steady stream of 20 buses took students and staff to the Doncaster Athletics Track where they participated in a large array of track and field events.
Birt pulled ahead and was again victorious showing themselves as a sporting powerhouse this year, however, with numerous events to come, the 2021 House Cup is still very much up for grabs.
11 Records were broken, congratulations to:
