St Philomena's K-6 Cross Country
On Thursday 30 March, we held our Primary Cross Country at the Moree Racecourse. It was a great day with students showing off their long distance running ability, endurance and house spirit. It was fantastic to see so many students participating in cross country to earn a house point for their house.
Congratulations to everyone who participated and contributed towards house points. It is fabulous to be part of a school community where everyone is willing to try their best. Well done to Savio for taking out the winning house!
