We were very blessed with a lovely day on Tuesday which helped make the cross country an enjoyable occasion for the whole school. Again special thanks to Dave and Rebecca Heffernan for their help before and on the day. Thanks to Adele Whiston for being our photographer and to the parents who helped with marshalling. There are a few photos and most of them are in year level so you can flick through the different year levels to find the year you want.
Certificates and Trophy presentation will be held tomorrow at assembly at 2.15 pm. Yr 1-3 will receive a certificate for placings and Yr 4-8 will receive a trophy for first and certificates for placings.
