Cross Country Carnivals

HILLCREST CROSS COUNTRY CARNIVAL

* Photos will be uploaded shortly

After a washout from ex tropical cyclone Debbie, the Junior and Senior Learning Community Cross Country Carnivals were moved to the first Friday of Term 2, 2017. The event also saw a return to Hillcrest from Pizzey Park in 2016, with a brand-new track circling the picturesque Year 1-2 Castle facility. In a new twist to previous years, the carnival also saw each age division have their race timed with students given the opportunity to set their age groups inaugural lap record. This added an extra level of excitement to the day with students competing for their place in Hillcrest history.

The Junior Learning Community carnival was structured around introducing our youngest students to Cross Country, with a single 1k lap through this Hillcrest campus and an experience through the bush track surrounding the College. This track was then repeated a second time for students aged 11 and 12 years, with local radio celebrity, ex rugby league legend and Hillcrest parent Ben Hannant running the 12 years boys race against his son and other students. The Senior Learning Community all ran the same track, which had an additional loop through Reedy Creek and adjoining council easements added to the JLC course. This extra feature created a challenge that is unique to Hillcrest and fostered an exciting atmosphere within the student body.

While not racing, students participated in a range of house-based games and community celebrations. This was central in creating an exciting environment for all students, and enabled the wider community to be part of what was a fantastic day. A very special thanks to the whole Hillcrest community in making the day something special for our students.
