Cross-Country
Fr Gaetan Pereira Cup - Interhouse Cross-country
Our 2023 Interhouse Cross-country carnival took place in Week 3 of Term 2. It was wonderful to see House spirit in action with strong student participation across both the main race and the novelty events. Congratulations to Koolyangarra House for taking out the Fr Gaetan Pereira Shield and Loreto House for winning the Spirit Award.
We were blessed with perfect running conditions and a competitive atmosphere. House spirit and passion were evident, with students running the course and competing in the spirit events.
Interschool Cross-country - ACC and SSWA
John XXIII College enters the ACC and SSWA Cross-Country carnivals which provides students with the opportunity to participate in and represent their school. Both carnivals are held in Term 2 of the school year.
Selection for the Interschool Cross-Country team is based on student performance at the Interhouse Cross-country carnival and training performance.
Training for Cross-country is open to all students from Years 7 to 12 and usually runs every Tuesday and Thursday morning, meeting at the College during Terms 1 and 2. Training is open to all students. Students looking to improve their fitness and even parents are welcome to join in training.
