“Running is the greatest metaphor for life, because you get out of it what you put into it."

Cross Country
This year our annual Cross Country will be held on Thursday 3rd April in Week 10. This is considered a normal school day. At the college we boast a high participation rate in our House Days and we hope to continue this as we grow. The theme for this year’s cross country is Famous Faces.
Students are to come to cross country as a Famous Face that aligns with their house colour.
The Student Representative Council will run a BBQ on the day along with the Canteen running out of the Raptor Dome kitchen providing an alternate menu.
