Westlake held its Cross Country event during Periods 3, 4 and 5 on Thursday 5 May. This event was a House event, with House points allocated to all participants, and additional points allocated to the top place-getters.

The event was compulsory for Year 9s and voluntary for other year levels. While there was some serious competition, there was also a fair amount of fun and frivolity – especially amongst the Year 9s!

Thankfully the weather played its part, and a great time was had by all.
