Students, staff and spectators alike were treated to a perfect day at Thompson’s Beach for the 2025 Cobram AGS Cross Country Carnival. With the sun beaming and a vibrant atmosphere all around, it was a fantastic setting for competition.

Well done to all students who not only gave their best in their races, but also showed outstanding support for one another; especially as runners pushed themselves to the finish line in very warm conditions It was also wonderful to see so many parents, carers and family members come along to cheer on students from the sidelines

Congratulations to Cowell House on their impressive victory in this year’s event, taking home the highly coveted Cross Country Shield! This victory was particularly momentous against the backdrop of Parkes’ recent run of dominance, which had seen them claim the last four sporting shields, including two in Swimming, as well as Cross Country and Athletics.

It was a closely fought contest from the outset (just like many of the races throughout the day), with students in red narrowly edging out a determined Farrer House to secure the win by 22 points A thrilling finish to a fantastic day of competition!

Final house standings:

Cowell: 306 points

Farrer: 284 points

Parkes: 242 points

Stanyer: 204 points
