House Cross Country

On Monday 22nd August, the annual Mazenod House Cross Country was held in and around the College grounds. The event is an integral part of the school calendar and gives students a chance to demonstrate House pride as well as participating in physical activity. For students in Years 7, 8 and 9 the event involved completing a 3 kilometre course, while the Senior students tackled a 4.5 kilometre course. With the rain holding off, the Senior students were first and with a high calibre field, including many students who have formed the backbone of the ACC Cross Country team previously, the competition was fierce for podium finishes. The Year 8 students eagerly followed, with many students pushing themselves to complete the course as quickly as possible. The Year 9 students followed suit, with competition tight and a close finish between the final runners up Kernot Avenue took place. The Year 7 students were the final group to hit the track and displayed enthusiasm and desire to get the best out of themselves. It was pleasing to see the many colours of the Houses on display as well as a high participation level amongst all year levels. Congratulations to all the students involved and we look forward to a bigger and better Cross Country in 2023.
