2025 Glasshouse District Athletics Carnival
On Thursday 31st July and Friday 1st August, Baringa State Primary School competed in the annual Glasshouse District Track and Field Competition at Beerwah State High School. Aside from the cool conditions the weather was perfect over the two days of athletics. The Baringa SPS team put on an exemplary show of positive attitudes and sporting prowess.
Congratulations to all of our students who proudly represented our school, their team spirit and comradery was inspiring. This demonstration of teamwork shone through particularly brightly during the final event of the carnival – the relays. Out of 18 schools Baringa finished victorious in 5 out of 8 age divisions and to top it off our 12 years girls team broke the Glasshouse District 4 x 100m relay record.
Baringa State Primary School achieved 2nd place overall out of the 18 schools that competed from the Glasshouse District. This is the second year in a row that we have finished in silver medal position which is something to be extremely proud of. Pumicestone SS took home the silverware and were crowned as the 2025 Glasshouse District Champions, with our neighbours Nirimba finishing in 3rd position.
A number of our Baringa students gained selection into the 2025 Glasshouse District Athletics Team to compete at the Regional Carnival later this month. We congratulate and wish these students the best of luck in their upcoming events at the 2025 Sunshine Coast Regional Track and Field Carnival.
Hunter T was awarded as Runner-Up Age Champion for the second consecutive year in his division, we congratulate him on his outstanding efforts.
Along with the students I would also like to give our very own, Miss Deb (Deb Roberts) a very deserving shout out. It is a demanding task managing the Baringa Athletics Team and Miss Deb makes it look easy and does with a smile – thank you! Mr Greg Kimber also requires commendation as he was once again the convenor of the District Track and Field Carnival for the third consecutive year. It was a highly successful event that was run with accuracy and expertise. Countless hours and energy have been put towards this event in the lead-up and throughout and it certainly does not go unnoticed, well-done Greg.
