Blessed with the most perfect winter weather, our two cross country events for 2022 were a huge success!
Our Heaton event was so competently coordinated by our year 7 and 8 sports leaders. A big thank you to those students for all of their energy and efforts. There was a fantastic supportive atmosphere at Elmwood park for both the recreational and competitive races this year.

The Canterbury Championships took place at Nga Puna Wai, and involved hundreds of dedicated primary and middle school athletes from all over our region. Our top 40 Heaton participants represented our school with amazing spirit, energy and pride. There were some fantastic results overall, but Mason (room 1) certainly needs to be recognised for his spectacular run to finish 2nd place overall in the year 8 male event.
