Term 1 | Week 10 - School News
Cross Country Carnival
What a wonderful day! The students rose to the challenge of greater distances and didn’t falter. With lots of persistence all of the Guardian Angels' runners overcame tiredness and completed the course. Well Done!!!
Thank you to ALL GA staff and parent volunteers for your help during the running of the day. We couldn’t do it without you.
A huge thank you to Ben Luscombe from Starfish Fitness for all of his hard work coaching the year 3-6 classes for the last 3 weeks and for his boundless energy warming up the students and keeping the races on track during the event.
Starting in 2023 we have modified our Awards to align with Athletics and Swimming awarding Cross Country Age Champion Medallions to the fastest boy and girl in the Senior, Intermediate and Junior Categories. This combines two birth years and is awarded to the fastest runners.
This year we also gave each student in overall age champion and second place a voucher for 4 weeks free run coaching as kindly donated by Ben Luscombe from Star Fitness.
A huge congratulations to the following students:
Senior Boy 3km
2nd Roarke Knaggs 16.39
Age Champion Stefan Gore-Brown 15.13

Drop off and pick up zone volunteers
Thank you to those parents who have already so generously volunteered their time in the pick up zones. We truly appreciate your help.
We would love parent helpers in pick up zones this year. Pick up zones operate from 8:00am – 8:25am in the morning and from 2:55pm – 3:20pm in the afternoons. It's an easy 25 mins, opening car doors, helping little people in and out of cars.
If you can spare 20-30 minutes once or twice a week please email Jenny Druce at jdruce@bne.catholic.edu.au with your preferred day, time and campus.
A friendly reminder, before commencing your role as a volunteer or other personnel at our school, you are required to complete the online volunteer training.
