House Cross Country

On Monday 22nd August the annual Mazenod House Cross Country was held in and around the College grounds. The event is an integral part of the school calendar and gives students a chance to demonstrate some house pride as well as participating in physical activity.

For students in Years 7, 8 and 9 the event involved completing a 3km course, while the senior students tackled a 4.5km course. With the rain holding off, the senior students were first off and with a high calibre field, including many students who have formed the backbone of the ACC Cross Country team previously, the competition was fierce for podium finishes.

The Year 8s eagerly followed, with many students pushing themselves to complete the course as quickly as possible. The Year 9s followed suit, with competition tight and a close finish between the final runners taking place up Kernot Avenue. The Year 7s were the final group to hit the track and displayed enthusiasm and a desire to get the best out of themselves.

It was pleasing to see the many colours of the Houses on display as well as a high participation level amongst all year levels.

Congratulations to all the students involved and we look forward to a bigger and better Cross Country in 2023.
