Captains' Corner

On Thursday last week the College held its annual Interhouse cross country carnival at Kalinga Park. The sun was shining, and the atmosphere was packed with excitement as students from all year levels gathered to participate. The event was a huge success, with students of all ages and abilities coming together to compete in the spirit of sportsmanship. 

It was a fun day filled with a sea of vibrant colours, face paint and tutus as students from all houses cheered on their fellow competitors. It was a wonderful sight to see the school community come together to celebrate athleticism and healthy competition, and to witness the sense of pride and accomplishment that each student felt after completing the race.
