Sports Day Results
St Peter’s Girls made their way to the SA Athletics Stadium on Thursday 7 May for the 2026 Year 4 to 12 Sports Day. It was a fine day for it; the sun was out, temperatures were comfortable, and the rain held off throughout. It was a good day of competition across all year levels. Performances were strong, and several School records were broken by the end of the afternoon.
The girls were great supporters of one another throughout the day, with plenty of noise from the stands creating a vibrant atmosphere.
The Spirit Cup was awarded to Kennion, who were consistent and enthusiastic in their support across the entire day.
The Gift award went to Harper Nguyen, who competed in the race featuring the fastest students from each year level. Congratulations to Harper on an excellent run.
Thank you to all the parents and families who came out on the day; it was great to see such strong support in the stands. Thanks also to the staff who help make the day run smoothly.
