Prep - Year 12 Cross Country
What a fantastic day we had for our Prep - Year 12 Cross Country Carnival! It was wonderful to see our students embracing the challenge of our new courses, and the atmosphere was buzzing with excitement. A special highlight was watching the runners finish their races on the new outdoor courts, cheered on by their peers.
A big thank you to all the parents who came along to support and encourage the students. Your cheers and enthusiasm added so much to the positive spirit of the day.
We would also like to congratulate Junior School students Chloe, Alina, Tom, Benjamin, and Benji on their incredible efforts in breaking King's College Cross Country records, an outstanding achievement!

Colac Clay Target Shooting Competition
It was a cold and wet day for the Colac Clay Target Shooting Competition, causing a mixed response of being grateful for the rain, yet frustrated with the timing of it during a day of competition, causing people to huddle next to the wood heater.
Our students represented well, competing to the best of their ability in trying conditions. For the first time we were able to take some first time competitors, but trained students to the competition. We did not get any places but a few personal bests for competition were achieved. Well done to all who competed.

A big congratulations to Alina, Jemimah, Evelyn, Tom and Benji, who each represented our school with determination, focus, and sportsmanship. Their efforts on the track were impressive and they should be very proud of how they competed against strong fields from across the region.
