Congratulations to all students who competed in the House Cross Country event.
60 Senior House competitors (Years 10 to 12) completed three laps of the 2 km campus loop (6km), while 57 Junior House competitors (Years 7 to 9) completed two laps of the same course (4km). Prior to the day, each House nominated a team of six boys per event. Each team was to consist of two runners per year level.
On the day, we were treated to several outstanding performances and many amazing personal achievements.

None of this could’ve taken place without the
- enthusiasm and leadership of House staff,
- Staff and prefects who volunteered their services as event officials and the
- support received from the College Grounds staff, Marketing and Communications, Ms Natalie Worster (administration) and the Saints Athletics Club.
My sincere thanks to you all.
We can now look forward to the Mercedes Cross Country Relays, Cross Country Intercol, House Athletics Program and inter-school Track and Field competitions, inclusive of the Achilles Cup.
