We were fortunate to enjoy a fantastic day for this year’s cross country event, held on a significantly more challenging course that featured steep hills, muddy terrain, and a tough uphill track. Despite the cool start to the morning, TAS students were well-prepared and enthusiastic, warming up together and showing great determination throughout their races.Thank you to the parents and caregivers who assisted with transport — your support is greatly appreciated.Congratulations to all Year 4–8 students who have qualified for the North Otago Cross Country.
