23 May 2023
On Tuesday 23 May 2023 our School Cross Country team competed at the Zone Cross Country carnival at Nicholson Park, Woonona.
All runners competed with great determination and skill and with such a strong team effort our school placed 2nd of all schools the best result in recent memory.
While it was a real team effort there were a number of fantastic individual performances including Jayden Simpson who came first in the 18 year boys, Lily Tonge, Poppy Black, Ben Eady, Romany Janssens and Narelle Berlanda who all placed 2nd in their age groups, and Teagan Myers, Tilly Cohen and Sam People's who all placed 3rd in their age groups.
Overall 25 WHSPA student placed in the top 10 and will go on to compete at the South Coast carnival in Nowra.
A wonderful effort by all WHSPA students.

Wollongong High School of the Performing Arts acknowledge the Wadi Wadi people of the Dharawal Nation, who are the Traditional Owners of the land on which we meet. We acknowledge the Elders, past, present and future, of this land as well as Elders of the wider Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities. These Elders hold the traditions, the dreams, the hopes and the culture that has been kept alive for thousands of years. Our school lies between the sacred site of Mt Geera and the five islands which are significant figures in Dharawal dreaming stories. These stories pass on the traditions, practices and customs that have sustained the oldest living culture in the world to this day. In between the mountains and the sea we meet together in harmony and stand firm in the reminder that this land is, was, and always will be traditional Aboriginal land.
