The Division 2 EISM Athletics Carnival was held at Lakeside Stadium, Albert Park, on Tuesday, 19 May. Despite the absence of the Year 9 cohort attending the Arnhem Land camp, a committed team of 75 TKS students competed with determination, teamwork and pride, successfully securing the School’s Division 2 status for 2027.
Following the event, Senior Head of Sports Strategy, Programs and Pathways, Nathan Bower, praised the collective effort:
