MCKINNON HOUSE CROSS COUNTRY CARNIVAL

On Friday 6 May, McKinnon held its Annual Cross Country Carnival. We were very lucky that the predicted thunderstorms did not eventuate. The theme this year was a touch of PINK, with many staff and students dressing up.

Main Campus!

East Campus!

The Top 10 from each race will go on to compete in the Kingston Division Cross Country Carnival on Wednesday 25 May at Karkarook Park.

Good Luck to these students.

CHEER

The talented McKinnon Secondary cheer team is a group of 25 Year 7 students led by Daina Harris (Year 12) and Francesca Wood (Year 11). Our group began training in the middle of Term 1 and we had our first performance at cross country this term. Plenty of hard work was put into the thrilling performance and we were so excited!

The cheer team meets on Wednesday lunchtimes and during these sessions, our coaches choreograph dances which are heaps of fun. During rehearsals, the cheer team puts in lots of effort and energy to make the dance amazing! Cheer is also about creating friendships and having plenty of laughs. We can’t wait for our next performance!
