Cross Country Carnival
What an incredible day we had at this year’s Cross Country Carnival! Despite the very warm conditions, our students showed outstanding determination, resilience, and sportsmanship as they took on the challenging course. Every runner gave their best effort, pushing through the heat to cross the finish line with smiles and a sense of accomplishment.
The well-earned Zooper Doopers at the end of the race were a refreshing treat for our hard working athletes, and they were certainly well deserved!
A huge thank you to our amazing parent helpers and staff who supported the event, whether it was on the course marshalling or simply cheering on the students. Your contributions made the day run smoothly and helped create such a positive and encouraging atmosphere.
Congratulations to all our runners on their fantastic efforts. We are so proud of you! We look forward to another exciting Cross Country Carnival next year! Best of luck to our GSFM cross country team at the Diocesan carnival on Tuesday 6 May!
