Diocesan Cross Cross Country

A fantastic day out by our St Joseph’s students who gave it their all to complete the very tough Nowra Cross Country Course. We had some great successes with our senior students, with Grace Pomery, Tayissa Buchanan, Lachlan Haining & Bailey Miller all making it through the CCC later this term. Congratulations to all students who attended and competed on the day. Your points are invaluable to our school's overall tally in the Vince Villa trophy.

I would like to thank Mr Maguire and Mr Lewis for taking this team.

Grace Pomery - 1st Place U18s
Tayissa Buchanan - 2nd Place U17s
Lachlan Haining - 2nd Place U18s
Bailey Miller - 5th Place U18s
