What a fantastic occasion it was last week at the primary district athletics day, where Manor Lakes comfortably finished 2nd overall out of seven schools.
We fell just 10 points behind first place – an outstanding result that demonstrates the talent and commitment of our whole athletics team.
Our students represented Manor Lakes with real energy, determination and school pride across every event, and the results reflect just how much hard work went into it.
