On Tuesday 3 May, FWPS held our annual Cross Country Carnival. It was pleasing to see the perfect weather conditions as we were greeted by the sun. K – 2 remained at school and held their carnival on the back oval whilst 3 – 6 walked to Avery Park, Fairfield West. It was great to see the students take part and give it their best in particular, our kindergarten students, as this was their first carnival! All our infants' students who placed in the top four received their ribbon on the day. They even had their own podium to stand on! In our primary event, we had one student break a record that had been held since 2011. Congratulations to Pharrell Ibini-Isei who broke the 8 year boys record, running the course in 9 minutes and 43 seconds. Every second counts as he beat the old record by 2 seconds! All the students are to be commended on their behaviour. It was so nice to see how supportive they were of one another and how they cheered for their House groups. Students who placed in the top six in the primary cross country will be competing at the Horsley Zone Cross Country Carnival on Friday 27 May which will be held at Brenan Park, Smithfield. We wish all those students the very best. As usual, students were excited to see who would win the Overall Champions Cup and Spirit Cup. Unfortunately Freeman could not hold their reign this year with Sauvage winning both the Overall Champions and Spirit Cup. Congratulations Sauvage, a well deserved win! Thank you to all the parents and caregivers who attended the carnivals and supported the students as well as all the teachers who were present and undertook jobs to ensure a smooth running of the day.
