Sack races, long jump and scooter sprints were some of the events on the competition schedule.
Run by the Year 6 cohort, students were encouraged to dress up to represent a country of their choice, with prizes for best-dressed.
It follows a number of other Games-themed events at schools in the region, with the 2022 Birmingham Commonwealth Games creating plenty of buzz.
The excitement looms as a good trial ahead of what is expected to be a frenzy of interest in the lead-up to and execution of the 2026 Commonwealth Games in regional Victoria.
News photographer Rechelle Zammit was there to see the action unfold.
