Cross Country

A week out from the big day of Kristin CrossCountry there was a sense of foreboding as ex-tropical cyclone Fili looked to dampen our fun (OK, not everyone thinks running a Cross Country is fun but I do).

Every relevant staff member was on their favourite weather website trying to predict the path of the aforementioned weather system. Stalwart of too many school Cross Country events to count, Mr Burge was of the completely correct opinion that Cross Country is a winter sport, and it should be run in the rain if necessary.

I even asked Reverend Ramsay if he might ask for some divine intervention. I was told it doesn’t work that way.

Happily for all concerned, the threat of a storm remained just that and the day, one of the biggest of the year for the Sports Department, went off as smoothly as one could hope for. Thanks to all who helped out in the Sports Department, the PE Department, the Middle School staff and all others.

Congratulations to all who took part and of course to our winners. Let’s do it all again next year!
