CSPS Cross Country

Congratulations to everyone that participated so enthusiastically. Thank you to our wonderful staff for ensuring the day ran so smoothly. 

The winning house (drum roll please) was the....

“For me I enjoyed the cross country. Once I finished, I enjoyed cheering and supporting the girls that were still running. I came 2nd, last year I came 5th. At district last year I came 44th so I’m hoping to come in the top 20.” Chika (Year 6)

“Before the cross country I didn’t really want to do it but my friends encouraged me. At one point I felt like stopping but I continued running and I came in the top 15. I was glad I did it!” Shiraz E (Year 6)

“My last cross country at Caulfield South was memorable as I knew the course well from previous years. I have improved each year and this year I nearly made it to district. My house came 2nd”. Cooper S (Year 6)

“The cross country was fun. I really enjoyed it. This was my first one at the park. I didn’t stop once, and I came 13th.” Zoe W (Year 3)

“Yeah, I had fun. I had a good amount of exercise. I ran all the way, and I was proud of myself. My house were the winners!” Archie B (Year 3)

“It was fun. You got to do either 3 or 4 laps at Princes Park. I enjoyed running my 3 laps. Sometimes I ran and sometimes I jogged. I came 3rd and am looking forward to going to the district cross country.” Mia R (Year 3)

Mini Cross Country

On the same day as our senior students completed their cross country our Prep – Year 2 students participated in our ‘Mini Cross Country’. Word on the street (well, during PE classes) indicated that some students did lots and lots and lots of laps of our school oval during the allocated time. Congratulations to all students for trying your best and thank you to the Prep – Year 2 teachers for making it happen!

“I liked the mini cross country. I could almost do 100 laps but I didn’t have enough time. I could if I had more time.” Arlo (Prep C)

“I wanted to do ten laps but I did 6. I had fun!” Ollie (Prep D)

“It was tiring doing the laps. It was so fun doing the cross country.” Lottie (1C)

“Everyone was so excited about the cross country. Everyone liked it! Some people did more than 10 laps, some people did more than 8 laps. I did 8.” Jasper (1C)

It was very fun when we were doing it. Some people got tired and had a little rest and then raced back to the start, everybody liked it a lot. It was super fun!” Max (1D)
