2022 Cross Country Champions
We love that 2022 has given us the opportunity, once again, to change from the way things have always been done.
This year we moved the cross country off the foreshore, to a course that took the girls on a scenic route around the College. I’m not sure that the girls were so thrilled when they realised they had to run some hills but those that competed tackled the challenge enthusiastically. We had some very close races that were won on a sprint finish, and we commend the girls on their sensational racing.
The College was alive with colour as non-runners were dotted throughout the school to support their peers. It was fabulous to see our spectators also racing around the school to support the competitors at different points around the course. Blue Chip timing was once again on board to help us with the results. As usual, they have been fabulous to work with. We love that we can give our community the results immediately. A huge thank you to our Physical Education team who slotted so easily into different roles to make the morning run so smoothly.

The average person’s attention span when using a digital device has plummeted from around two and a half minutes back in 2004 to just 47 seconds on average today – a dramatic 66% decrease over the past two decades.
