The Virtual Cross Country has been run and won by Carmel House.

All students from Kinder to Year 10 were invited to take part during the week Wednesday 20 May to Tuesday 26 May, and points were awarded for the distance covered by students either running or walking. Congratulations to all students that had a go. I could see from the wonderful photos that were sent through, that some spectacular venues were chosen for the event, and that students had some fun along the way too.

The final scores included some bonus points for house spirit shown through videos and photos sent through:

1st: Carmel (734 points)

2nd: Lourdes (697 points)

3rd: Loreto (679 points)
