Under the warm conditions, Cumberland took part in the House Cross Country event that saw our students conquering a challenging 2km course around the College grounds. From the athletics track to the scenic journey to and around the farm, the runners showcased both speed and endurance, making every stride count. 

Fast runners emerging from all year levels and the high turnout and spirited involvement added to the infectious atmosphere of the day, turning it into a memorable experience for everyone. 

A heartfelt thank you goes to our dedicated Dunhelen House and Sport captains, as well as the Homeroom Teachers, whose support and marshalling duties ensured the event ran smoothly. Special congratulations to the outstanding recipients of year-level medals, whose determination and commitment shone brightly. The Cumberland House Cross Country was not just a race; it was a celebration of sportsmanship, endurance, and the undeniable spirit of our students.
