DONALD HIGH SCHOOL HOUSE CROSS COUNTRY 2025

 

On Wednesday the 30th of April Donald High School students competed in their annual Inter-house cross-country event. 

 

In perfect conditions and on a 3 km course along the Federation Trail we witnessed some outstanding efforts. This year Banyenong were the overall winners in a tight encounter that saw Jeffcott finish a close second and Meyer third.  Banyenong’s high level of participation contributed significantly to their aggregate points win.

 

House total scores:

 

1st Banyenong            374pts

2nd Jeffcott                  350pts

3rd Meyer                     219 pts
