The weather cleared on Tuesday for the annual Twizel Area School Cross Country, an opportunity for the whole school to come together and support each other, and have lots of fun to boot! 🏃🏼‍♂️🏃🏃‍♀️


This year we changed it up slightly, incorporating our entire Middle School. It was fantastic to see our senior students out there participating and supporting our younger runners.

The River Track gives our students all types of terrain to run on; we are lucky enough to be able to offer two different tracks for our runners.

Our Year 1-3 students ran 1200m, Year 4-6 2000m, and Year 7-10 2500m.

Thank you to all the parents and supporters who came down and watched our runners, seeing the delight on children's faces as they crossed the finish line was worth it.

Congratulations to 85 students selected between Years 1-8 to compete at the Upper Waitaki Cross Country in Omarama on Monday.
