It was a brutally cold day and the course was very muddy but the students ran with gutsy determination.
Thank you to all parents/ guardians for their efforts in taking our students to the venue.
Well done to all the students who competed. From the reports from the parents you all ran with smiles on your faces and great sportsmanship. Thank you again for making me proud to be part of Marlborough PS.

Tree Planting
On Tuesday we tree planted at Dandenong Creek. We made a super dooper long pot snake with the empty pots for fun. Some plants were tricky to get out and some holes were deep.
We all had fun. I am excited to see how tall they grow. Maybe one day I will climb the tree.
