The school’s annual cross country carnival was held last Thursday down at the new racecourse venue.   The day was a great success with all children loving the new course and the green, lush surrounds of the racecourse area.  We are very proud of the efforts of all children and it was great to see smiles on their faces as they crossed the finishing line.

A big thank you to the parents and teachers that assisted on checkpoints and Meg Lloyd for helping on the recording desk.  This extra help ensured a smooth running carnival and we are most appreciative.  We were able to “beat the heat” and finish by 11:15 am!
