Fairpark athletes score a clean sweep as School Leaders at Kent Park Primary School!!
Congratulations to all of our athletes going into Grade 6 for 2010 at Kent Park PS, all of whom will be Leaders at the school. Well done to Zachary Speight and Emily Power who will both be Junior School Councillors, Josh Crowley who will be Franklin House Captain, and to Paige Spurrell who will be our girl School Captain. Well done everyone.
Apart from the fact that the recognition you have received in achieving these positions is very well deserved, it also adds weight to the argument that active kids do well in life. Best wishes for your final year at Kent Park!!

Friday 11th December 2009 - Club Records continue to fall...
Bree Warren has taken a further 6 seconds off her own club record for the U13G 1500m. The new record time of 5:05.08 is the 4th time Bree has broken the record this season - every time the event has been run. That may be a club record in itself!!!
And Joshua Spurrell has broken his second club record for the season, this time the Boys U9 200m. His time of 31.75 seconds is almost a second quicker than the previous record, that has stood for over 20 years.
