House Cross Country

On Tuesday the 30th of March, all students competed in the School Cross Country held at Koonung Creek Reserve. Students dressed up in their house colours for the day (as well as many of the teachers) and competed in either a fun run or cross country trial. It was fantastic to have so many supportive parents and other family members there to help cheer the children on.

 

In fantastic conditions, the students raced around the 1km track to the best of their abilities. The students were all so well-behaved, enthusiastic and running on a buzz with all of the adrenaline. The winning house on the day was…….Attunga!! Congratulations to all students in green house!

 

I would like to say a massive thank you to Mr Batt, as well as the teachers and parents who assisted with the set up and pack up of the Cross Country track and equipment. Your help was very much appreciated!

 

Congratulations to all students who competed during the afternoon, particularly the Year 3 – 6's who performed so well in the trials.
