Record Breakers 2012
An Olympic performance at this year's Primary Record Breakers!

The Olympics came early to Patana this year as many of our finest young athletes took to the athletics track and field for their annual Primary Record Breakers. Over 80 of our students rose to the challenge and got out of bed early last Saturday to record their best times and distances over 8 athletics events. The weather conditions were not ideal as we experienced some extreme heat and humidity, however it certainly didn’t dampen the enthusiasm and determination of our students.
Record Breakers is about giving those students who enjoy their athletics the opportunity to record times and distances over a range of athletic events and to try to beat the school records. The morning began on the track with the 60m dash and then the 600m/800m distance races. Great times were posted across the age groups; however the heat was clearly taking its toll. Two records were broken, first of all in the Year 5 60m dash (Luke Abai Haddon) and then the Year 4 600m (Yoran Van Keer).
For the second half of the morning the athletes moved to the field events where they would rotate from one event to another. These events mirror those at the Primary FOBISSEA Games and were the high jump, long jump, three springs jump, tee ball throw, basketball chest push, and quoit throw. The many parents who had come to cheer the athletes on were treated to some fantastic performances and twelve records were broken in the field making a grand total of 14 records overall. This was an awesome achievement and I’m sure that many of the records achieved will stand for many years to come.

A huge thank you to all of the children who took part and the parents who supported during a very enjoyable morning of athletics. The event itself would not have been possible without the many staff and parent volunteers and also a group from Chulalongkorn University who offered their generous services on the day.
Well done to all of our Patana Primary athletes!
