New - School Cross Country
St Mary’s Cross Country – Friday 24 April.
We are looking forward to our upcoming St Mary’s School Cross Country, to be held on Friday, 24th April.
Students in Grades 3–6 will compete at the back ovals of the Mooroopna Recreation Reserve, with events beginning at 9:30am. These students will walk to and from the venue with their classroom teachers and will return to school following the completion of their races.
Our Prep–Grade 2 students will then take part in their Cross Country on the school oval, commencing at 11:35am.
Students are encouraged to wear their house colours to show team spirit and support their peers throughout the day.
We look forward to a fantastic day of participation, encouragement, and school spirit as students challenge themselves and represent their houses with pride.
