Well done to all the P6 and P7 boys and girls who, on Thursday and Friday, completed the gruelling 1.2km course around the school as part of the cross country trials.

Everyone completed the course and were very supportive of each other, cheering on the first people over the line and encouraging everyone across the finish line.

Mr Campell and Mrs Stephen are currently working on who will make it into the team for the Cambulang and Rutherglen Sports Council Cross Country Event on Thursday 8th May.

I’ll keep you posted here.

Hallside Athletics team last week finished fourth in the South Lanarkshire Finals of the Sports Hall Atheltics Championships.  That ranks Hallside in the top 4 for atheltics in the whole of South Lanarkshire: from Rutherglen all the way to Lesmahagow!

Well done to all of the competitors, and the other members of the squad who have all been training hard every week.  Thanks to Mr Campbell and Mrs Stephen (our parent coach) for all their hard work.

A great success, well done everybody.
