Congratulations to all our students who competed at the AICES Athletics Championships on 30 August. A total of 11 students competed in the various track and field events. Thomas Hassall once again proved that we are among some of the best athletes in our region.
Thomas Hassall is one of eight schools that make up the NASSA association, who came first overall. A massive thank you to Miss Friel and Mr Geering who helped run the triple jump competition and supported our students on the day. We are also extremely lucky to be a College that has such supportive and devoted parents. It is greatly appreciated.
Students were not only able to place on the day, but many of our students also did their personal bests, beating their times and distances from the NASSA Athletics Carnival and our annual Athletics Carnival earlier this year. All of our students represented our College well and achieved outstanding results and demonstrating great sportsmanship.
Students who placed in the top three of their events will now represent AICES at the CIS Athletics Championships on Wednesday 20 September.

Thomas Busfield 200m
Christian Georgalis Shot put, 100m and 200m
Praise Lauano Discus and shot put
