K-2 "Mini" Cross Country
Whilst 3-6 were taking part in the Cross Country Carnival our K–2 students had the most perfect weather for their very own "mini" Cross Country at school! This special event was all about preparing them for the big carnival and getting them excited about staying active.
It was pure joy watching our youngest runners take on the course with such enthusiasm. Everyone had the best time, showed great sportsmanship, and definitely burnt off plenty of energy!
