Sarina Athletics Club has celebrated a strong 2025 season, with more than 60 members returning to the Clubhouse this year. Community Bank Sarina Bendigo Bank has continued to be active in sponsoring the Club’s rebuilding and ongoing growth.
Steady participation across the season highlights the Club’s commitment to providing an inclusive environment where children and families can engage in sport and develop valuable life skills.
Athletes have enjoyed a year of development, with several travelling to Bowen to represent Sarina Athletics Club and returning with medals as well as valuable experiences that will shape their sporting journey.
Sarina Athletic Club Fundraising Coordinator Nicole McCowan said the Club has had a “busy year bringing the community together, thanks to the sponsorship support by Community Bank Sarina”.
“This year we hosted several local school and district carnivals, giving children the chance to get active close to home,” Ms McCowan said.
“The support from Community Bank Sarina, including their $5,000 sponsorship, has assisted us in strengthening our programs and creating even more opportunities for our members.”
Part of the rejuvenation was the introduction of the Squirts Program for children aged 2–5. The Athletics program continues to provide parents with the opportunity to get involved.
Another key part of reestablishing the Club has been enhancing its facilities and community services, including security screens for the canteen, crash bars on roller doors, security cameras and a new automatic external defibrillator (AED) accessible 24/7, providing potentially life-saving support and reinforcing the Club’s role as a safe and inclusive space for the broader community.
With the ongoing support of Community Bank Sarina, these events provide hundreds of local children the opportunity to participate in sports close to home, encouraging connection and a sense of belonging within our region.
Sarina Athletics Club will kick off its 2026 season after Easter, running across Terms 2 and 3. For updates on season start dates and Club activities, visit: Sarina Athletics Club Facebook.
