This Wednesday, we hosted our annual Cross Country Carnival, and boy, was it a sunny spectacle! The day was so bright that even the sun was wearing sunglasses! Our enthusiastic runners took to the course with big smiles—some may have even been smiling through their heavy breathing!

A GIGANTIC shout-out to our amazing volunteers! You all were the true MVPs—setting up gazebos, hauling cones like seasoned athletes, and cheering on our students like you were at a rock concert! Without your support, we might have ended up with more chaos than a three-legged race at a family reunion.

Now, for the results: the final placings were Jackman, Alcott, Barty, and Irwin—who has officially become the Usain Bolt of our school by winning two years in a row!

Next up, we have the North Gungahlin Cross Country at Stromlo on Monday, May 26.

We’ll be sending our top five runners from 8 years and above to represent us. Parents, keep an eye out for more details in an invited Compass Event coming your way!

Ribbons for those who finished first, second or third will be handed out next week.
