Interhouse Virtual Cross Country

The sound of shoes pounding the pavement have eased with the completion of the Interhouse Virtual Cross-Country competition last Friday. It was wonderful seeing so many students engage in this activity and it was pleasing to witness students’ levels of fitness increase over the three weeks.

As a whole College, students were able to run an amazing 7823.93km during the 19 days. This would have allowed our students to run from PLC up to Cairns, across the Northern Territory to Karratha in Western Australian and then all the way down the coastline to Margaret River.

It was great to have a number of students reach year level distance milestones during the event. Congratulations to the students listed here. A special mention to Liam Russell and Cody McMackin who were the only students across P-12 who ran their maximum kilometres per day every day of the challenge.

The final results were as follows:
