YOUNG athletes from Sts. Francis & Joseph School bested competitors from three other CBE primary schools to win the 2017 Archdiocesan Track & Field Meet. The 2017 Archdiocesan Track & Field Meet was held over the course of two days, kicking off on Thursday, May 4.

It was a sweep for Sts. 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.

Catholic Board of Education primary schools have a sporting legacy, which is evident in the number of alumni who have gone on to achieve success in athletics both nationally and internationally.

As with all CBE sporting competitions, the 2017 Archdiocesan Track & Field Meet fostered school spirit, healthy competition and provided a fun environment for students, parents, teachers and administrators. St Thomas More School placed 2nd overall while St. Cecilia’s School was 3rd and Xavier’s Lower School finished 4th.
