On 24 May, we had beautiful sunny weather for our annual Tauranga Girls’ College cross country day! Throughout the day our kura showed lots of House spirit and enthusiasm toward this fun event, and smiles were seen all around.

“Cross country was loads of fun! It was great seeing everyone out there participating in the event and running with friends.”

• Ava, Year 10

There was an array of colours seen out on the field. Our students dressed up in their House colours to show support. Awesome costumes were presented from all year levels, from teletubbies to luigis, our students got to show their creativity to support their houses.

“It was wonderful to see everyone in their bright colours and fun costumes.”
