The Games came to Grahamvale Primary School on Tuesday, August 6 – complete with Opening and Closing Ceremonies, medal presentations, torches and national anthems.
Students selected Spain, Netherlands, Ireland, Philippines or Jamaica as their competing country and dressed up in the colours of their respective flags before taking part in a series of challenging and fun sporting events.
As the Games drew to a close, students, staff and the school community enjoyed a sausage sizzle organised by Grahamvale’s Parent’s Club.
