RVSSC Athletics Carnival 2025 – A Record-Breaking Event!

The 2025 RVSSC Athletics Carnival was a two-day celebration of athleticism, house pride, and student participation. The event brought together students from all year levels to compete across a wide range of track and field disciplines in a fantastic display of determination, effort, and school spirit.

Despite the winter chill, students turned up in force—competing in sprints, jumps, throws, and relays with energy and pride. The Raptor Dome and College Oval were alive with colour and cheer as students represented their houses with passion and sportsmanship.

A highlight of this year’s carnival was the outstanding 53 school records broken across the two days—an incredible achievement that reflects the talent, preparation, and drive of our student athletes. From lightning-fast sprint times to record-breaking throws and leaps, the bar has well and truly been raised.

We also celebrated our 2025 Age Champions, recognising students who delivered consistent excellence across multiple events. Their all-round athleticism and determination were a highlight of the carnival.

Congratulations to Flinders House for taking out the overall victory! Their consistent participation, strong performances across all age groups, and enthusiastic house spirit helped secure the win. Well done to all students and staff who contributed to this success.

A big thank you goes out to all staff, student leaders, canteen volunteers, grounds and facilities teams, and spectators who helped make the event such a success. Your dedication and teamwork ensured the carnival ran smoothly and was enjoyable for all.

We look forward to an even bigger and better event in 2026!
