Glasshouse Christian College’s Secondary Cross Country Carnival was held on Tuesday, 25 March, transforming the Beerwah Sports Fields into a sea of energy, colour, and determination. A lively 80s dress-up theme brought added excitement, with senior students embracing the fun despite a brief shower of rain.
Runners tackled the familiar bushland track with enthusiasm, and competition was fierce across all age groups. The event not only celebrated fitness and fun but also served as a selection ground for district representatives—congratulations to the students who will go on to compete at the Maroochydore multisport complex in Term 2.
House spirit was strong, with every runner contributing to their house’s score. Sinai claimed the top spot with 229 points, narrowly edging out Zion (216) and Ararat (214). The carnival was a celebration of teamwork, perseverance, and school pride—well done to all participants and age champions for a fantastic effort.
