Thankfully, the weather was on our side and we managed to miss the heavy rain.
It was a very tough course consisting of 3 hills. All participants ran with determination and resilience, especially when it came to the really steep hill 1km in. Year 4 pupils ran 1.5km and Year 5/6 ran 1.7kms.
A special shout out to Malu who came 18th out of 88 and Salila who came 13th out of 96.
A massive congratulations to Aria who came 2nd out of 88 and has qualified for the Nationals later in March!
The Pause
At St James, we feel it is important to introduce our pupils to stillness and allow them to discover how to be inwardly free and deeply at ease within themselves. A short period of 5-10 minutes at the beginning and middle of every day is allocated to quietude in which pupils may meditate, contemplate or simply be still – according to their own spiritual inclinations.
