:::::::::::::::::::Cross country::::::::::::::::::::::

Finally the day is here,

Dun dun dun dun

The day you’ve all been waiting for ,

Dun dun dun dun

That’s right folks

CROSS COUNTRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Calling all fast sprinters, Olympic wanna-bes, or garden joggers.

Here’s your chance to shine once again.

But guess what? This year's course contains several obstacles to dodge at Wainoni Park... take on the challenge!

Like … hay barrels, piles of leaves, fit for a gymnast.

On May the 20^th Senior & Middle school had to step up and face the amazing, skillful, indescribable, CHALLENGE OF TERM 2

We saw flashes of people’s feet zooming by as they raced to the finish line. The hair swinging in the breeze as their heads swung in effort as the sweat gathered. Several made it and others failed to get into the top eight but stood with pride at the end of the race and cheered on their fellow students. It’s fair to say Greenhithe School cross country will always be an annual gathering of fun, spirit, and pride. And maybe a few laughs, though this day is taken seriously.

P.S a special thanks to parents & helpers of the community, all our #1 teachers who helped us train, and of course Mrs Hilton-Jones + Mrs Griffith!
