Ringwood North District Cross Country

Congratulations to all students who competed in the District Cross Country last Tuesday at Domeney Reserve, Park Orchards. Our students were challenged as they competed against the best runners in the Ringwood North district on a very difficult course which included many hills and uneven terrain. Despite these challenging conditions they were still able to achieve really great results. They all performed really well on the day as they persevered through really tough conditions. It all paid off in the end as they finished second on the day out of ten schools within the Ringwood North district.

A special congratulations to Jack C, Callum S, Ava J, Genma S, Rory G and Blake G who finished in the top 10 and have progressed through to the next level, which is the Maroondah/Manningham Division Cross Country. Also congratulations to Emma F, Jemma W and Belle W for finishing in either 11th or 12th place and are listed as emergencies for this event.  

Thank-you to the parents who attended and showed their support on the day. A special thank-you to our parent helpers; Sarah Freer and Carlee Shultz  who assisted with the event itself by providing direction and encouragement.

Maroondah / Manningham Division Cross Country

Well done to Ava J, Gemma S, Rory G, Blake G, Alex S, Callum S and Jack C who competed in the Maroondah / Manningham Division Cross Country on Tuesday the 4th of June at Yarra Valley Racecourse.

This was the third stage of the cross country competition so as you could imagine the competition had risen once again, though our students responded very well. From all reports they demonstrated great effort and run exceptionally. They all achieved really great results and should be very proud of these achievements.

A special congratulations to; Ava J who finished 3rd, Gemma S who finished 12th, Rory G who finished 3rd and Callum S who finished 4th. These students finished in the top 12 of their race and because of this they now progress to the fourth stage of the cross country competition which is the Eastern Metropolitan Region Primary Cross Country Championships. What an achievement, well done!

I also just wanted to say thank-you to the parents for taking their child/ren to this event and showing such great support. THANK-YOU!
