She was committed to taking part in all events that were on offer, no matter what the outcome was to be. Well done, Alanna!Well done to ALL Corndale students. You were fantastic competitors, respectful challengers and your behaviour over the two days was outstanding. What I enjoyed the most over the two days was the way the children congratulated each other on their achievements. Not just for receiving a ribbon but for just having a go and taking part in the event. That is so heart-warming!
