A return to school sport was a welcome relief for 550 Reception to Year 9 students last week with the unique ‘Virtual Cross-Country’ event. Students were invited to participate to either run, jog or walk the event which was held over two days (Junior School on Thursday and Middle School on Friday) on a flat grass course on the senior and junior ovals facing White Avenue. The course distance varied for each age group, ranging from 500 metres to 3kms. Students had to navigate a simple circuit and plenty of students took the opportunity to test their fitness, while others used it as a good friendship connection to jog or walk together. With over 5600 students from approximately 180 schools participating from all over South Australia and Western Australia, Tenison Woods College can be proud of the number of keen students who all showed great enthusiasm and effort to enjoy the event. Results were collated and submitted to Sport SA. While the main focus was on participation for Reception to Year 5 students, in the secondary age groups, times were kept and will be submitted to the Regional Schools Sports Association. Thank you to the Year 5 Founder Leaders – Ruby, Albert, Lachlan and Mitchell for their help.
