After having to postpone our Prep - Grade 6 Cross Country Carnival due to inclement weather on Thursday 20 May we had an exceptional day of weather on Friday 21May.

Our students participated with great courage and determination over a long distance and challenging course, particularly the Grades 4 - 6 students who ran out of the school and into Hellyer, I believe the Hellyer Hill was a challenge for many coming towards the end of the race. It was great to see how supportive our students are of each other encouraging and cheering on all runners regardless of their position in the race. All students who participated and gave their all are winners to me as it is the ethic of doing your best that is most important.

It was fantastic to have parents back for these carnivals as I know that the students were excited and it certainly adds to the atmosphere of these types of events.

Kinder Cross Country Event

On Wed 26 we ran the Kinder cross country in challenging windy conditions.  It was awesome to see these young athletes competing in their first school cross country and of course it was wonderful to have parents cheering them around the track  - well done to all who participated.
