25 Mar 2025
The WHSPA Cross Country carnival was held on Tuesday 25 March 2025 in beautiful sunny conditions and for the first time the carnival was held at Stuart Park, North Wollongong.
The day was a combination of fun, music, and competitive running as we added a new course allowing students to enjoy the sights from Stuart Park along the bike track to Fairy Meadow.
Lots of sausages and drinks were sold raising valuable funds for the 2025 Year 12 cohort and many thanks to their Year adviser Mr G Broadfoot for organising all the food.
Students sat under the shaded pine tree areas near the Lagoon restaurant enjoying each other’s company while waiting for their event to be called.
In the cross country itself excellent efforts were displayed by some very talented athletes in all age groups. A big thank you to all staff who ran, especially Mr Richards, who completed the 3.2 km course four times running with most of the boy’s age groups.
The following students were age champions and will lead the charge for our school at the Northern Illawarra Zone Carnival next term on Wednesday 21 May 2025:
12 Years Ambrose O'Dwyer and Amelie Pace, 13 Years Koen Giles and Grace Thornton, 14 Years Toby Peoples and Nala Ashbolt, 15 Years Alexander Smyth and Kyra Johnson, 16 Years Seattle Bazley and Edie Ives, 17 Years Chase Rowlan and Matilda Cohen, 18 Years Elliott Fisher and Lucy Shipway.
