Milton SS Athletics & Sports Days
What an awesome few weeks we had for our Athletics Sports Days. Well done to all our students for their efforts, doing their best and for their sportsmanship with one another at the Athletics carnivals and Sports Days. It was such a pleasure to run the carnivals for our students, in glorious sunshine (for once I didn’t have to worry about the forecast!), and have such tremendous support from our parents & families in the community. The joy and excitement, the sheer effort written across their faces, the cheering & genuine happiness for fellow competitors was just wonderful.
Massive thanks to all the teachers and staff, the house captains and year 6 leaders, and parents, who helped set up, run the events so smoothly and pack up over the 3 days. Big thanks to Greg for his work in prepping our grounds and setting up on the days too. Go team Milton SS!
Competing for their houses, and in their age groups, the years 3 – 6 students competed in field events including 800m, high jump, shot put, tug of war and 200m heats on Monday and on Tuesday took part in the track heats and finals in 100m, 200m and further 800m races, along with ball games, novelty relays and year level shuttle relays.
Our students in Prep, Year 1 and Year 2 competed in 50m/80m sprints and tabloid sports, tug of war and ball games.
What a thrill it was to see how much fun they had.
And now, to the records & results………

Queensland School Sport 12 GIRLS AFL Championships
Congratulations to Elsie J and Edwina S of Year 6 who recently won a Bronze medal at the Queensland School Sport AFL 12 Girls Championships in Maroochydore. The girls played as strong members of their Met North team losing only two games across the entire carnival and walking away with a 3rd medal for theirs and their teams’ efforts. What an experience! Congratulations Edwina and Elsie, you should be more than proud of the journey with AFL you’ve been on for 2025. From the district team, all the way through to the highest level in Queensland School Sport. A very memorable experience! From the entire Milton SS community, well done!
Met North 12 Girls Touch Football
What a run this budding sports star is having. Edwina S, a week after competing at the AFL championships headed off to the Met North 12 Girls Touch Championships with her City District School Sport team. Playing mainly in link and on the wing, Edwina shined once again and has also been selected into the Met North 12 Girls Touch team. The achievements just keep rolling! Now off to Roma for the Queensland School Sport 12 Girls Touch Championships, is there anything this talented youngster can’t do at present. Huge congratulations Edwina, enjoy the experience again, put your best foot forward and be proud of your effort. Go Eddie go!
Thank you
