ACC INTERSCHOOL CROSS COUNTRY CARNIVAL

Unlike the damp weather last year, this year there was not a raincloud in sight for our Associated and Catholic Colleges of WA (ACC) Interschool Cross Country Carnival held today at Alderbury Reserve.

The Senior School students who competed as part of the ASC Interschool Cross Country Squad performed exceptionally well at the event, with many personal best times and individual achievements. Special mention to Noah Dean (Year 7) who came first place in the Under 13 Boys age group; competing against more than 300 students!

Well done to all our students and staff who attended the carnival today, and those who helped the team prepare in the lead up to the event.

ACC CROSS COUNTRY TRAINING DAY

On Monday, 27 May Year 7, 9 and 10 students who are part of the ACC Cross Country Squad attended the ACC Cross Country Training Day at Alderbury Reserve during Periods 1 and 2. The students practised starts and completed the whole course in preparation for the ACC Cross Country Carnival which took place today. It was an invaluable experience for all students involved, particularly for those that had never competed at this course before.
