Inter-House Cross Country Carnival

The most credit goes to all the students who ran to the best of their ability, earning House points as they crossed the finish line. The support you display towards each other, and the tenacity and determination of our top runners, is something special to witness. Thank you to all our Senior students who supported the day, volunteering your time to run for your House. Cardiovascular endurance is so critical for our wellbeing and fitness, and I encourage all of you to elevate your heartrate for a minimum of 20 minutes three times a week.

What a magic day we had yesterday at our Interhouse Cross Country Carnival! A sunny, still morning welcomed the House Captains who were there early to assist in the organisation of the event. We had some fantastic parent involvement who came dressed in Gandhi support colours, earning extra points for Gandhi. Great to have families come along and see the wonderful way in which our students come together to create a collegial carnival spirit!

Congratulations to our overall House winner, individual champions, and the selected 2023 St George’s ACC Team, who will run on 1June at the ACC Cross Country Carnival at Perry Lakes. Training takes place every Tuesday and Thursday morning 7am for anyone that wants to improve their fitness. St George’s is also looking at entering a City to Surf Team which is taking place on the 27th of August.

Many thanks to the House Captains who fulfill their responsibilities at these events. It is always great to have our Principal, Mrs Tina Campbell, take some time out from her busy desk to come and support everyone. Mrs Campbell has encouraged the PE Department to host a whole school Interhouse Cross Country in 2024, and it will be awesome to have the whole School community involved and enjoy exercising through the majestical bushland of Poolgarla Parklands, Kings Park.
