In Primary School sport news this week read about:
Primary Cross Country Carnival
The Primary Cross Country Carnival was on Tuesday, 10 March at Queens Park. After torrential rain the night before and grey skies to start the day, the sun finally appeared and it turned out to be a beautiful morning.
The day started with an Acknowledgement of Country delivered by Maya Clark and Sophia Prodromou (Year 6) followed by the 8/9 Years race. This was the first time for many of these students attempting the challenging 2km course and it was an exciting finish with Alicia Hyland (Year 4) winning by the narrowest of margins. Billie Evans (Year 4) put in a stellar effort and was victorious in the 10 Year Olds division, and Isabelle Lee (Year 6) won the 11 Year Olds race, her fourth year in a row placing first. The last race of the day was the 12 Year Olds, with Hannah Walker (Year 6) showing excellent stamina to get the win. Well done to all students who participated and challenged themselves on the day, and congratulations to the following girls who placed 1st, 2nd and 3rd in their age division.
Lastly a big congratulations to Barton who once again came away as House Champions for the event. The IPSHA Cross Country Carnival will be held on Wednesday, 2 April at The Kings School. All students who were selected to attend the IPSHA carnival have been notified and we wish them the best of luck!
