This year's School Cross Country Race was held on Friday 7 August.

The course was once again set around the school grounds and the local streets. The weather was fine for the race although the grass was very wet underfoot. Staff were stationed along the route to encourage the runners at all times and we were impressed with the overall commitment the students showed.

Student Led Conferences were a highlight last week, as students celebrated their learning with their parents and caregivers.
Many families came to hear their child articulate the learning process and to share their successes and challenges. Students focussed on all areas of the curriculum and gave their perspective on their next learning steps.
The teachers felt a sense of pride watching the interactions between parents and children, and listening to their students articulating their learning so clearly and honestly.
