On the last day of Term 1, our College community came together for the much-anticipated Inter-House Cross Country Carnival. A fantastic demonstration of Courage, Commitment, and Compassion from all runners, the event saw participation from students spanning Years 3 to 12.

As has been tradition, results were calculated based on the finishing position of students within their year and gender groups. Much like the ACC Cross Country scoring system, the Carnival rewards the lowest number of points, with first place earning 1 point, second place 2 points, and so forth for students completing the course within 30 minutes.

To ensure fairness, an even number of competitors from each house were included in the calculations, regardless of total finishers.
