Dorothy's District Carnival Race

As I mentioned in my previous blog that my daughter, Dorothy represented her school in the District Carnival for the 800 meters running race. The District Carnival took 2 straight days last week with different games each day to compete. On the first day, Dorothy was in the race while on the second day she was helping out the teachers who ran the Carnival. She was selected among other students in the year six of her school to help out with the teachers, delivering messages, carrying light equipment and such. Her school was the host of the Carnival which was held in Blacktown Olympic Park. There were 19 schools participated in the Carnival and the grandstand was occupied of people for two days.

Dorothy's race was in the heat 2 with 10 participants from different schools which I was really pleased. Her finish wasn't bad at all for she came up 6th place. It was a great effort by her but unfortunately her finish time didn't qualify for the next stage (Regional) which put her dream to an end and just hope for the best next year . Being always part of the school team is something that she is proud of . The fun and excitement being in the race and being with fellow athletes are something always to look forward to.
