*  ATHLETICS  2008
Great weather and the Bejing Olympics provided a fanstastic atmosphere for our BDPSSA Aths.
I'm sure many Olympic athletes have fond memories of their Primary School sport activities and their passion and skills probably developed from programs like the BDPSSA Aths.
It was clear that staff and students had spent many hours training and preparing for their challenge - Well done !
OVER ALL  WINNER:  Oakleigh South Primary School  - This is the fourth time in a row that OSPS has won.
ADJUSTED  SCORE  WINNER:  Oakeigh G.O.C.   Handicap Shield for small schools.
Although Oakleigh South were clear winners, it was very close between 2nd to 7th place.
Children will be selected to participate in the Central Zone Aths Wednesday 10th September.
