Three Peaks Cross Country Postponed

After careful consideration, we have made the decision to postpone tomorrow's Three Peaks Cross Country event to Thursday 6 August.

The forecast is for snow, sleet, and strong winds, and we believe postponing the event is the safest decision for our students. While we always aim to proceed with outdoor events whenever possible, student safety must come first.

Thank You we appreciate your understanding and support.
