Following last weekend’s very successful trial games against St Edmund’s College, St Peters Boys Sport is getting ready for Round 1 of our Term 2 sports of Rugby, Football and Chess. Our boys have been training and preparing throughout Term 1 and over the Easter holiday period for the commencement of their respective sport. We are now eager to kick off our Term 2 fixtures against Padua College.
This week we also had the opportunity to conduct our Senior School Inter-House Cross Country which was initially scheduled to be held in Term 1. Due to the COVID lock down it was postponed.
It was fantastic to see all our Years 10, 11 and 12 students getting out and having a go and enjoying themselves with their peers whilst participating for their respective St Peters House group. Thank you to all the St Peters staff who gave up their time to ensure that the 2021 St Peters Inter-House Cross Country went ahead for our students.
