K-10 Cross Country

On Friday 27th March St Philomena's hosted their first whole school Cross Country in Jellicoe Park. The day was filled with lots of cheering, sportsmanship and of course running. Students got right into the spirit with many costumes and dress-ups, ensuring a bright and colourful day. It was great to see so many students giving the course a go and representing their houses across all ages.

Congratulations to the Age Champions, Runners Up, Dio Team and all participating students on a very successful day.
