Interhouse Cross-Country Carnival

The 2019 Interhouse Cross-Country Carnival was held on Friday, May 10 on the College ovals.

It was a fantastic day with perfect running conditions and a wonderful competitive atmosphere.

The House spirit and passion was evident for the duration of the carnival with many students from each year group running the course and competing in the novelty events.

The contest for the Father Gaetan Perreira Shield was very close. On the back of some very impressive individual results it was Campion House who won the day with the lowest overall total score.

The competition for the Spirit Award has really escalated over the past few years and the participation from each House was at an all-time high. With points awarded for spirit, behaviour and for each student that completed the course under the allotted cut-off times, it was a closely fought competition between all Houses. Congratulations to St Louis House who were able to retain the Spirit Award from the Interhouse Swimming Carnival.

Overall Points

• Campion              316
• Loyola                   374
• Loreto                   384
• Ward                      419
• Koolyangarra     459
• St Louis                 473

Best of luck to the athletes selected to compete in the SSWA and ACC Interschool Cross-Country events over the next three weeks.
