Keeping up with the Karoo Kids

The Principals and PE teachers of Karoo, Lysterfield and Park Ridge wanted to say a huge thank you and well done on each schools amazing effort in last week’s Virtual Interschool Cross Country. We wanted to say how proud we are of you all taking part in an event that has helped connect, empower and strengthen our communities during this remote learning period. We hope you all had a lot of fun walking, jogging or running. It was great to see the many photos, videos and posters you all made to cheer on your school during this event.

Collectively the 3 schools combined ran 2,400km that is equivalent in distance from the Corner of Kelletts and Napoleon Rds to Townsville in far north Qld or to Alice Springs in central Australia. The event also had a competitive element to it which you were all aware.

have sent in. All recipes supplied can be found on COMPASS under ‘SCHOOL
