Cross Country
On Tuesday we hosted the Inter-House Cross Country Carnival. This was a fantastic event, with the weather, thankfully, holding out to provide a sunny day to run for the students. All of the participating students are to be congratulated for their efforts in completing the respective cross country courses.
Parents and spectators are to be thanked for coming down to support the students and for cheering them on, whilst running. Your presence on the oval certainly added to the excitement and atmosphere of the carnival.
A special thank you goes to Miss Sanders, for all of her planning and organising of the cross country carnival, and to all of the staff who assisted in making this a fun, safe and well-run event.
All place-getters and the winning House faction will be announced at the whole school assembly this Friday, 17th June, beginning at 8:45am, in the hall. Parents are welcome to come along and join us in the assembly.
