Principal Peter Sansby was excited by the number of parents and community members that came to watch the two-day carnival.
Events began after morning classes with sporting battles between the house teams of Freeman (yellow), Gilbert (black) and Blair (Red).
The preps battled it out with beanbag relays, egg and spoon races and ball games.
At the end of the day Freeman won with 117 points, followed by Gilbert on 105 and Blair on 99.
