The SPC Athletics team maintains its high profile standing within the College community and is proudly displayed along with the First XVIII in each year’s photos on the walls of the College.-

The 2015 SPC House Athletics Carnival again contributed to this fine tradition.-

The carnival format again gave all students the opportunity to participate in many different track and field events.-
