From Mr Chaplin
Division Cross Country
On Wednesday 18th June, two of our outstanding athletes represented Cheltenham East Primary School at the Regional Cross Country event held in Hastings. Competing against some of the best runners from across the region, both students demonstrated incredible determination and talent.
Congratulations to Sam B, who finished in 1st place, and Charley N, who secured an impressive 2nd place in their respective events. Their dedication to training and perseverance on the day truly paid off.
We’re proud to announce that Charley will now advance to the State Cross Country Championships — a remarkable achievement and testament to her hard work.
Well done to both students for representing our school with pride. We’ll be cheering you on Charley at the state finals!
