Last week an enthusiastic group of sixteen Years 3 to 6 girls proudly represented NHEHS in the Falkner House Cross Country competition. The picturesque setting of Battersea Park provided the backdrop for this event, on a lovely spring day, ideal for cross-country running.

The 800m course, proved to be a challenging terrain, winding its way through trees and featuring steep inclines — a true cross-country course. Year 3 and 4 participants completed one lap, while those in Year 5 and 6 tackled the course twice. Remarkably, all our NHEHS girls completed the demanding course unscathed — a testament to their resilience and determination.

A special accolade goes to the Year 5 team, who clinched the top spot in their year group standings. Cissie crossed the finish line in second place, followed closely by Maya in third, Anna in fourth, and Isabella in fifth — an impressive display of teamwork and individual excellence. Additionally, Zucci delivered a commendable performance, securing third place in the Year 6 race. The encouragement and support given by members of the team showcased the true spirit of sportsmanship.

Well done to all who participated, contributing to a successful event.
