House Cross Country Carnival – A Day of Spirit, Sportsmanship, and Support
Last term’s House Cross Country Carnival was a resounding success, filled with energy, determination, and a fantastic display of house spirit. We’d like to extend a huge congratulations to all our students who took part in the event. Whether you were sprinting to the finish line or cheering on your fellow housemates, your enthusiasm and encouragement truly brought the carnival to life.
It was wonderful to see students not only striving for personal bests but also showing great sportsmanship—clapping, cheering, and supporting one another throughout the day. Events like these remind us that it’s not just about winning, but about coming together as a community. The SJV spirit was definitely on show!
A heartfelt thank you also goes out to the many parents and carers who joined us on the day. Your presence and support make a world of difference. We are especially grateful to those who volunteered their time to help marshal students along the course—your help ensured the event ran smoothly and safely.
Families of grade to six students, please keep an eye on nForma. Information will soon be coming out about District Cross Country (Tuesday, 13 May) for those students that qualified.
Thank you again to everyone who made the House Cross Country Carnival such a memorable and uplifting day. We can’t wait to do it all again next year!
