Run Squad:
The St Mary's Run Squad wrapped up Term 3 with a training session at Copperlode.
Students embraced the challenge of running to the first lookout—2km straight up a hill! They were rewarded with an amazing sunrise and view over Cairns. Run Squad continues this term, meeting at the bike racks at 7:00 a.m. every Tuesday. All students are welcome!
Swimming Carnival:
What a fantastic day at the Woree pool for the Swimming Carnival. Everyone enjoyed the competitive and non-competitive races. The novelty events, such as the boat races, belly flop competition, and Mad 5, created great participation and enjoyment. The gift race was highly competitive, with Natalie Beck narrowly taking out the prize. Congratulations to all the students who attended and participated, and a big Congratulations to the winning house, Murray!
