On Wednesday 18 August, Catherine McAuley School participated in the Catholic Schools Cross Country carnival at PAC oval in Adelaide. After many weeks of training, a team of forty-five year three to seven students participated in the challenging two-kilometre run.

On a beautiful Winter’s Day, students were able to complete the challenging 2km course successfully. Runners were able to achieve some great times with each race containing more than 100 competitors. The students showed great enthusiasm, competed to the best of their abilities, and work through pain barriers to complete the gruelling 2km course.

I was extremely proud of all the runners and the effort they put in to complete the course. The majority of students finished between 20^th and 50th which was an exceptional effort. We had a couple of top 10 finishes, congratulations to Indy Bromilow (7^th) and Jaxson Durdin (10^th).

Thank you to Rebecca Philip, Nick Guidolin, Marry-Anne Hayward and Maxine Warren for their assistance and support on the day!

Well done everyone on a great performance!

Yours in Faith, Growth & Unity
