Polding Cross Country
On Tuesday the 7th of June we had 3 students travel to Eastern Creek to compete at the Polding Cross Country. Well done to Hugo Sisson, Flynn McFarlane and Olive McFarlane. All of these students completed the course and made themselves, their families and St Mary's proud with their fantastic efforts.
Hugo placed 25th, Olive placed 11th and Flynn placed 6th. Flynn will now represent Polding at the PSSA Championships in Sydney next month. Congratulations to these students!
