Have no idea of results and may not have got all our runners on camera but…
They all need an award for dedication running in this weather - although the rain has held off🤞
Well done Daisy, Louis, Judd, Amelia, Evan and Nico!

It may be very cold but Trina is out of the wind set up for a day of Marshalling at Dunstan Zone Cross Country. We have 6 keen competitors ready to take on the hills, the wind and the freezing temperature. We breed hardy kids down here!

It was an honor today to be asked to help judge the annual Masterchef Competition for our Year 8's. The food was all delicious with a main course, dessert and a drink.
Congratulations to the winners Leighton and Nate from Poolburn School with their delicious citrus orzo salad, venison, cheesecake dessert and homemade ginger beer. Second place to Zanaeyah and Imogen with their pork noodles and delicious broth with berry shortcake for dessert.
Everyone should be really proud of themselves. It was a difficult job selecting the winners. 😊
