Inter-house cross country

Dear Parent(s) / Guardian(s)

INTERHOUSE CROSS COUNTRY
What a beautiful day we had for the Inter-house cross country. There were blue skies, the sun was shining and there was not even a breath of wind! The children were eager to start the event and although some found it a lot easier than others, a good time was had by all.

The Junior Boys eager to get off to a good start!

The winners of the various age groups will be announced in the final assembly to be held next Friday, 26 September 2008. A special word of thanks must be given to Greg and Anneke Bright. Their help and assistance proved invaluable to me on the day. Many thanks to the following parents, who marshalled on the route, handed out water sachets and assisted at the finish: Di Pelman, Helen Phillips, Ashraf Abrahams, Nicky Harper, Carol Bysshe, Jenny Meek, Anita Murray, Colleen Burgess, Nike Romano, Hanna and Richard Bjorklund, Malcom Britton and Noleen Knott. The Grade 7’s raised R126 through sponsorship. This idea was spearheaded by Luke Cassar – well done Luke for showing such initiative!
