The first day of Term 2 was the Interhouse Cross Country for 2025. A day that many students mark in the calendar as it provides an opportunity to tackle the 5 km circuit as well as represent their houses. It was really great to see the vibrant spirit, colour and energy that was on display.

A big thank you to all the staff and students who assisted with setting-up the course and a special mention to Riley Simpson for all his work through the planning and delivery of the carnival.

Congratulations to all runners for their efforts and well done to Partridge House on their victory.
