House Cross Country carnival

The last Tuesday of Term 1 saw the running of the House Cross-Country for 2017. The Senior School students were greeted with perfect weather, however, no amount of sunshine was going to make the three-kilometre course any easier.

Olivia Weston was the winner of the final race, with her time of 11m: 44s missing the course record by only one second, ironically held by Olivia herself from her 2016 run.

The cheering on course during the races was followed by thunderous House chants, which were led by the House captains, as the overall results were tallied. In third place was Gipson with 442 points; second was Cunningham with 448 points; with Campbell being Cross-Country champions for 2017 with a fast finishing 474 points.

Outstanding individual performances on the day were as follows:

Year 7: 1^st Tahlia Stibbard (14m:49s), 2^nd Brianna Munns, 3^rd Shae O’Connell, 4^th Claudia Eibl

Year 8: 1^st Sophie Castricum (14m:39s), 2^nd Adele Handley, 3^rd Ashlee Duhau, 4^th Eliza Daniel

A special thank you to all the staff who ventured out onto the course to ensure the safety of the girls during the running of the event. Congratulations also to all those who completed the course with a personal best time, or simply produced an effort that they were proud to own.
