Stella Cross Country

The Stella Cross Country Carnival was held on Wednesday 3 April at Queenscliff Lagoon. It was a beautiful day to run the event, after being postponed due to wet weather the day before. The conditions were a little hot, but fantastic for a nice run around the lagoon and beachfront!

It was so great to see over 100 Stella girls participating in the events this year!

There was lots of cheering, very enthusiastic participation, and some outstanding performances. Well done to all of the students who took part in the event.

Stella will have a very strong cross country team to participate in the interschool events in Term 2.
