The 2016 Inter-house Athletics Carnival for Kalamunda Senior High School held recently was a great success.
The new facilities helped create a fantastic atmosphere to compete.
It contributed to the performance from students on the day, with several long-standing school records broken, the oldest of which dated back to 1982.

“Many people gave of their time, so a special thank you to all of those people who made the day a success.”
The organisation of the carnival was a huge logistical event.
The house Pegasus won both the track and field events and the novelty events held on the day.
Staff, students and volunteers from the P and C came together to make the first carnival on the new oval a memorable day, full of bright colours, fun and games, and some new school records to top it off.
The athletics track and oval upgrade was made possible due to a $2 million investment from the Shire of Kalamunda, along with a $1 million contribution from the State Government.
