Crows vs Cranes

The Cross Country Carnival

The much-anticipated cross country event took place, pitting the mighty red team, Crows, against the valiant blue team, Cranes, the defending champions, The Cranes. The atmosphere was electrifying as students, teachers, and parents gathered to witness the showdown that was about to unfold.

Luckily, thanks to our parent ‘falconers,’ he was guided back to the flock to complete the race without disqualification or losing too much time.

Spectators cheered as the race unfolded, witnessing a symphony of grit and determination. The Crows darted through the winding paths of Bushy Parker Park, their wings cutting through the air like arrows, while the Cranes gracefully navigated every twist and turn. All morning it was beak to beak, wingtip to wingtip, and it came down to the final race where the Crows celebrated with a triumphant ‘CAW’, grasping victory by a mere 10 points.

While the Crows were crowned champions, the race showcased the true essence of sportsmanship and unity. Thank you to all the athletes, spectators and volunteers for making it a memorable morning.

Goodluck to our competitors who will run cross country in Townsville on the 23rd of May. Our next big competition between the mighty flocks takes place at Pace Park on Friday 23rd June. Please come and support the students.

Waiting at the starting line, both teams decided it was a perfect opportunity to showcase their flexibility and flex their mindfulness through Yoga-ing on one leg while trying not to hop around like a pogo stick. Competition was already fierce!

As the signal sounded, the Crows and the Cranes sprang into action, dashing across the school grounds like a flock of energized birds. Each teams’ onlookers, unleashed a flurry of electrifying chants spurring the runners on.
