Congratulations to all of our tamariki who gave it their all at Tuesday's cross country. For some, their goal was to finish the race, for others it was to run the whole way without stopping. And for others their goal was to make it in the top ten. Regardless of the goal, everyone should be stoked with their race. 

What made me especially happy was how the children supported each other. I was also especially proud of our older students and the way they supported our younger children. That's what it's all about, just giving it a go, doing the best we can.
