School Cross Country
Yesterday we competed with the rain to hold our annual School Cross Country. To say that I am proud of all the students who participated would be an understatement. Cross Country is not everyone's favourite sporting activity to participate in, and yet we saw all of our students give it a go, and most of them shocked themselves when they completed their designated laps around the ovals. A massive congratulations to the Age Champions and Runners Up, and congratulations and good luck to all of the students who will be travelling to Barraba to compete at the Diocesan Cross Country Trials next Friday 6th May.
