Cross Country

On Monday 22 May, the Preparatory School held their annual Cross Country. The build up to the event, involved students practising at home, with their classroom teachers, and during PE lessons. With the Cross Country as the context, the students soon realised that goal setting, and a positive mindset was important to succeed in this event.

Students participated at a range of levels and demonstrated success both on and off the track, with all students involved in one way or another, successfully contributing to the spirit of the event. With participation at the forefront, there was a close race between Houses regarding participation points. That only left one aspect, the runners and the position they placed. Amazing!

Thompson made up a lot of ground with very strong runners, however, was pipped at the post by one point! With Erwin winning our 2023 Cross Country. What a close competition. 

Thank you to everyone who was involved in contributing to this event. A huge team effort from everyone. 

STACTALKS: TEENS AND TECH

During this technology-focused presentation, St Andrew’s College staff and members of the College wider community will discuss the topic of technology and adolescent well-being. They will present their ideas about the positive and negative impacts of technology use and will reflect on the approach St Andrew’s has adopted in response to research about technology, pornography, teaching and learning and social media.

The evening will conclude with a panel discussion where parents will have the opportunity to ask questions, provide feedback, and consider strategies they can adopt at home to promote positive technological use and prioritise well-being.
