Carisbrook School Olympics Day

Today the whole school went to the Edgar Centre and participate in various games organised by the year 7 & 8 students. First we had the opening ceremony and the flag parade - we represented Japan, then we rotated around different activities. After lunch we got to watch the teachers have a very physical game of netball. What a fantastic day!!
