On Tuesday 11 August, under the bright, shining sun, the Year 4–8 Cross Country combining Whenuakite School with Mercury Bay Area school was a fantastic success down at Buffalo Beach!
A massive thanks goes out to everyone who made it such a great day by the water. Special shout-out to Whaea Jazz for busting out her old Jump Jam moves to get the kids moving and shaking, as well as Mrs Mikkelsen and Whaea Montana for running awesome warm-up sessions. The top 6 runners from each group will qualify for the TVP Cross Country.
