Prep House Cross Country

Despite recent storms and fallen trees, there was an air of determination and a real ‘can do’ attitude as our house cross-country events went ahead this week. With enthusiastic children, staff and a large number of parents supporting, there was an air of celebration and determination shown by all across both afternoons.

Success can be measured by the high standards the children consistently demonstrate in their sporting events, but it can also be measured by the sporting values the children demonstrate towards each other. It was highly evident that providing these regular opportunities for inter-house competitions are crucial for building positive relationships within sport.

Each year group marshalled for the other year group during the afternoon, which allowed them to show respect for others by encouraging them during their racing, and celebrating with each other afterwards. It was truly heartwarming to see the way in which the children embraced the challenge of competing for their house. Some were confident, others less so, but all of them shared a camaraderie that supported two wonderful events.
