While the Olympic Games continue to captivate audiences in Paris, students at Shepparton Christian College prepared for their own version of the event.
On Thursday, August 1, excitement and competitive spirit soared as students represented their chosen countries in the college’s Olympic Tabloid Day.
The event featured a range of exciting events, from precision-based hoop throwing and bean bag toss, to athletic long jumps and the challenging skill of stilt walking.
As the games unfolded, flags waved proudly overhead and a spirit of sportsmanship filled the air.
News photographer Megan Fisher captured the fun and games.
