Hearts were pumping, muscles were straining and voices were cheering as students from all of the Burdekin District’s small schools converged on Clare State School for the Combined Burdekin Small Schools’ Athletics Carnival. Rainfall during the week meant that the track was a little soggy but spirits and effort reigned supreme as the students competed in shot put, long jump, sprints, high jump and the 800 metres. The younger student also had a fierce ball games competition with Corner Spry, Captain Ball and Tunnel Ball proving popular with parents and students alike. A great level of sportsmanship and camaraderie was on display throughout the carnival. Well done to the following students and schools:
