Eight teams from St. Bede’s consisting of 42 children claimed a superb second place in the District Cross Country Championships today!

There were so many highlights from the day, including several children stepping in at short notice due to absences and performing so admirably. We had an incredible 6 podium finishers; the Y3 & Y4 boys won their team events, while many of our teams registered top 3 finishes in their respective year groups.

It was wonderful to have so many boys and girls representing our school in a single event. The children have shown incredible dedication to train for the competition and everyone did their best on the day. I was so proud of how everyone supported each other throughout the event!

While we couldn’t quite retain the shield we had won 4 out of the last 5 years, it was an incredible effort that went all the way to the final race. After looking at the great photos from today, and reflecting on everyone’s amazing efforts, the wonderful community support, I feel a great sense of  pride in everyone’s contributions today!

Thank you to all our brilliant runners, parent helpers and those who supported the children at Temple Park! The children will receive well deserved team silver medals in the coming few weeks.
