After a “Take 2”, we had a glorious day for the Pakenham District Cross Country Event on May 25th at Toomuc Reserve. Students were nervous but enthusiastic and displayed wonderful “Team Spirit”, encouraging all competitors. 

Well done to all students who demonstrated commitment and persistence leading up to and on the day of the event, even with the “false start” and many students having to rebuild their stamina after illnesses. All students should be proud of their achievements to meet or beat set goals and, for many, even be able to compete after setbacks due to illness. 

Congratulations to Tayte (6BC), Mikayla (5SA) and Owen (4SM)

These students will now have the opportunity to represent St Pat’s at the next level of competition.The Cardinia Division will occur next Wednesday June 1st at the same venue. Permission for this event will be available via PAM and permissions submitted immediately due to the short turnaround of events. We wish these students well as they stride into the next level of competition. 

Students were supported by several staff members on the day. Thank you to Belinda Couch, David Daly, Eliza Silva, Mel Britt and Tania Parmley for supporting the students on the day, and to Neesha Bateson who assisted with results. 

Stay Active!
