Cross Country Challenge
The Interhouse Cross Country Carnival was originally due to run this week. So in its place, Mrs Oaten came up with the idea of introducing a House competition.
Staff and students were invited to don their House shirt and show some House spirit by taking videos and photos of themselves running. Even a few pets joined in.
We were amazed by the overwhelming response from both our students and staff and put the images into the video above.
Great job everyone.
Here are the final results.
