Border District Cross Country
A team of 7 keen runners took to the Scots College course to represent St Joseph’s at the 2021 Border District Cross Country Carnival. The students who competed were Erin O’Dea, Harry Wren, Jack Brown, Katie-Lee Jansink, Brigid O’Dea, Jack Bell and Chelsea Debnam.
All runners performed exceptionally well, competing right in amongst runners from around the district. Brigid O’Dea topped the St Joseph's field of runners finishing runners up in the 15 Year Girls with sister Erin claiming a 5th position in the 13 Year Girls. A great effort also by Chelsea Debnam who finished 4th in the 16 Year Girls and Katie-lee Jansink (absent from photo below) who finished 5th in the 14 Year Girls.

Granite Belt Cross Country
Wednesday, 5th May saw students from St Joseph's compete in the Granite Belt Cross Country. In what can only be described as a horrible day, students ran in the rain, hail and sunshine (although not much sun was seen at all).
