ST Joseph's Primary School students have taken a leaf out of Commonwealth Games athletes' books to shine in track and field events.

Students have recorded top results at their school, deanery and diocesan carnivals in 2022 just as their Australian counterparts did during the recent games.

The school carnival was held at the Leeton High School ovals, with many new records set. At the completion of the day, more than 50 students progressed to the deanery carnival.

School carnival age champions: junior boys Kane Fiumara, junior girls Willow Fiumara, 11 years boys Carter Purtill, 11 years girls Ella Tyrrell, senior boys Jal Junsay, senior girls Julia Ciurleo and Abby Tang. House champions were Tenison.
