MORE than 200 energetic Emanuel School students took part in the school’s annual primary school athletics carnival last week.
Held the carnival at Mutch Park in Pagewood, Sydney for the first time, the venue provided a  picturesque setting so that every students felt like they were in the thick of the action.
Harry Buch was the most outstanding athlete at the carnival after breaking a four-year school record in the high jump.
The Year 6 student jumped 135 centimetres to break the old record by three centimetres and earn a spot at the Australian Secondary Schools Independent Sport Association (ASSISA) carnival, to be held later this year.
“I like competing against my friends and athletics is great because I like the different events,” Harry said. “My favourites are high jump and 800m and it feels good when friends cheer you on.
