Defending champions St Francis & Joseph lead the march past before they won their sixth straight Catholic Primary School Track and Field Championships.
YOUNG athletes from St Francis & Joseph School bested competitors from three other Catholic Board of Education primary schools to win the 2018 Bahamas Catholic Primary Schools Track & Field Championships.
The 2018 meet was held over the course of two days, kicking off with field events on Thursday, May 3. It was a sweep for St Francis & Joseph School as in addition to winning the overall aggregate, the school also won the primary and junior categories.
The annual meet offers CBE primary school students the opportunity to exhibit their skill, dexterity and endurance in track and field events. Catholic Board of Education (CBE) schools are dedicated to the education of the whole child through development of the intellectual, physical and spiritual dimensions of every CBE student.
Athletics is an integral part of the total education programme of CBE schools. CBE primary schools have a long and successful history in school sports and athletic development. Many Catholic primary school alumni have attained athletic success at high school, nationally and internationally.
As with all CBE sporting competitions, the 2018 Bahamas Catholic Primary Schools Track & Field Meet fostered school spirit, healthy competition and provided a fun environment for students, parents, teachers and administrators.
St Thomas More School placed second overall. Xavier’s Lower School was third and and St Cecilia’s School finished fourth.
