A sea of blue, green and red could be seen on the Cross Country track as well as under our lovely Molesworth Primary School gazebos last Tuesday! Such a cold morning turned into perfect conditions for a cross country. Lots of cheering, determination, walking, jogging and running. Congratulations to all of our competitors!

Thank you to our school community for coming out and cheering on our students! It is lovely to be able to have spectators at our school events again! Thank you to Mr Brendan Rogers for assisting me in setting up all of the tracks and the gazebo. We would also like to thank the 4 New Norfolk High School helpers for assisting us during the carnival.

After our school cross country carnival, 45 students were selected to represent Molesworth Primary at the Division B SPSSA Cross Country Carnival at Bayview Secondary College which was held yesterday! And what a day it was! Our Molesworth team were up against 18 other schools from Southern Tasmania. Everyone represented our school proudly and tried their very best which is all we ask for from our competitors! Mrs Young, Ms Grundy and myself were so proud of our school team! We had some outstanding results from our students. All of our students places less than 100^th, with most placing in the middle of their races which was a great effort! We had 5 students finish in their top 20^th for their respective races, Braiden 16^th, Jack S 11^th in the grade 4 boys race, Haley 7^th in the grade 4 girls race, Addison 12^th in the grade 5 girls race and Joseph with a phenomenal run in the grade 5 boys race came in 1^st!

Thank you very much to Mr Peter Jelkic and Mrs Bernadette Kaitinis for braving the elements and volunteering as our school officials. It was lovely to have some of our school community make the trip out to Bayview to support our school, thank you!
