The students from Stewart Farm school competed in a challenging cross country event held on a rural farm. Many students achieved top placements in their age groups, including Max who placed first for Year 1 Boys and Jessie who won the Year 1 Girls title. All students tried their hardest and should be proud of their achievements in completing the lengthy courses which included hills and uneven terrain. It was a memorable event and the school is proud of how the students competed and behaved.

1. Cluster Cross
Country 2012
A mighty challenge!

2. The Stewart Farm
Albert Rd
Tokomaru
Friday 18th May
First indication of how rural we were about to get was the
narrow road on which we parked precariously. This was
followed by a hike to the covered yards just as the rain
began to fall.
We were all well prepared and stood around admiring the
terrain thinking how pleased it wasn’t an adults race. The
courses were lengthy (no problem), the ground stony in parts
and the hills high. This did not deter our athletes who ran their
hearts out and competed till the end. Well done team!!!!
Take a look at the results.
