Cross Country & Fun Run

Last week, our school held its annual Cross Country and Fun Run at the picturesque Yarrawonga Yacht Club and surrounds. With perfect weather and beautiful surroundings, students enjoyed a fantastic day filled with energy, effort, and school spirit. Every participant did an outstanding job, giving their best and supporting one another throughout the event.

A huge thank you to the teachers and staff who assisted on the day—your efforts made the event possible and smooth-running. Special mentions to Mr Hargreaves, Mr Mullins, Sharon and Tegan Powell, Mrs Leary and Ms McQueen for all their assistance to make the day run so smooth.

We’re proud to announce that 36 students have qualified to represent our school at the Divisional Cross Country in Wangaratta this week.
