House Cross Country Competition
Junior School students competed in the annual House Cross Country Competition on Wednesday 10 May. Though the track was wet and muddy, we enjoyed mostly clear skies as our students ran their very best. This competition was particularly exciting for our Prep students, who competed in their first House event. Their brand-new House T-shirts had to quickly adapt to the mud splatters.
All students who participated are congratulated for their efforts. We understand that some students thrive in the Coss Country whereas some students find it incredibly difficult. For every student who had a go, well done!
