Eden Albert Cross Country

The day of the Eden Albert Cross Country Event finally arrived! This year we took a team of 14 runners:

Year 6: Pablo, Finley, Niko, Xavier, Michaela, Lilou and Maddy

Year 5: Jack, Riley, Harper, Kaea, Beatrice, Abigail, Alisha and Jasmine.

The athletes ran 2200 metres around the Auckland Domain which is more than double our school cross country! They should be very proud of their efforts as they did not have much time to train this year. Congratulations to Michaela who came 5th in the Year 6 girls category and to Beatrice who came 15th in the Year 5 girls category.

A message from one of our parents supporters to me read, “The comradery between the kids was great and supporting teammates was awesome to see.” I have to agree, I could hear them shouting from the other side of the Domain 🙂

Here are some of the photos that were taken at the event:

Thank you to all our supporters who helped transport and who came along to cheer the team on, always greatly appreciated.

Pūriri & Kauri Cross Country

Congratulations to all our Pūriri and Kauri students who took part in this year’s cross country last week! It was wonderful to see so many choosing to run rather than walk this year, especially having practised for just a short amount of time. Thank you to all the parents and grandparents who came along to cheer the children on and to the teachers and children who helped keep everyone safe along the route. Here are a few photos from the event.

This year there will be 4 boys and 4 girls from Year 5 & from Year 6 who will represent us at the Eden Albert Cross Country next Tuesday. More about our team in our  cross country post next week. Good luck to them all!

Eden / Albert Cross Country Event

On Tuesday 13th of June, 12 excited but nervous Kauri students made their way to the Auckland Domain for the Eden/Albert Cross Country event. With lots of local schools we waited to be called for our races. The race was 2 laps around the field and up the hill through the trees. Everyone raced really hard and tried their best. There were some very fast runners!

Big thank you to the parents and teachers who helped make the day possible. Well done to our Owai racers Matteo, Jack, Arnie, Cleo, Elska , Nora, Pablo, Finley, Leo, Michaela, Lilou and Maddy. Big congratulations to Michaela who placed 7th in her race and Matteo who placed 15th.
