Interschool Cross Country Event

Our students have performed well in the Interschool Cross Country Event

On the 12th June, 12 students represented Castletown Primary at the Interschool Cross Country event, hosted by EACS at Twilight beach. The Boys and Girls teams were treated to near perfect conditions at the beautiful beach location, where the 2km course travelled over sand, footpath, beach and stairs. Although the teams were competing in the Primary School division (5 schools), they ran against High School students. This added to the nerves and excitement of the race. All of our runners performed well, running very consistent times. Overall, we placed second, behind Esperance PS, with both boys and girls teams second across the finish line. Juliette was our lead girl and she ran the fastest time of 9.03min in the Primary girls division, with Jordan 5th (9.32min).  Kaden led the boys and finished with the second fastest time in the Primary division of 7.54min. Both Juliette and Kaden received medals for their efforts. Our students acquitted themselves well with little preparation. Special thanks to our parent helpers, Terri, Paula and Justin for getting the students to the venue and supporting throughout the race. Thanks also to Mr Weckert who helped train our students for the event.
