School Cross Country
A superb day with a welcomed cool breeze revealed itself on Monday for our Cross Country event! Well done to all our students who showed such enthusiasm and gave it their all for our various races.
Thank you to the Young Golf Club for allowing us to use their grounds each year. We really appreciate having such a picturesque backdrop!!
Thank you so much to our small but generous team of volunteers - Chad Challen & Tony Berry for expertly driving our carts on the day, Mr Levett for transporting our students to and from school and Pete Ward for being our rev up man and starter for the day. We cannot run these events without assistance and your time is certainly appreciated.
A big thank you to Hennessy Catholic College for assisting us with some amazing Yr 11 coaching students who were simply outstanding on the day. This group was certainly one of the most entertaining we have had for Cross Country - they ran with the younger children, manned the checkpoints and encouraged every child that ran past them. Thank you so much - we love having you with us to support our students!
Thank you also to the amazing staff we have at St Mary’s who supported the students and ensured the day ran smoothly.
