From the Community this week is a little different, as we feature Charles Barrett (Year 9) who competed independently in the Victorian State Athletics Championships over the past two weekends

Charles competed in a total of 4 events, his most successful events were the Under 16's 2000m steeplechase and the U16 3000m, where he was crowned Victorian State Champion in both!

Charles also competed in the 1500m and placed second by the very smallest of margins, 0.01 second behind first place, and placed third in the 800m where 1.5 seconds separated the podium winners.

He has represented himself, his family and St Bernard's brilliantly, A massive congratulations to Charles on this amazing accomplishment
