The Cross Country season unit has been underway in all Year 7-10 Health and Physical Education classes this term. This is in preparation for the Senior School Inter-House Cross Country titles on Friday 20 May.
To quote former HAPE staff member, Steve Audsley: ‘It is time to dust off your supreme powers of motivation and tolerance, put aside the arthritis and fasciitis and hit the cross country trails’. Steve is obviously referring to the Physical Education staff and not the students.
While some students find this unit physically and mentally challenging, overall the boys have performed very well to date. The aim is to get each class member over the College course two or three times leading up to the Cross Country titles. This is in addition to our amended runs and fitness testing sessions.
