John Paul College has a proud and rich tradition of Cross Country running, beginning at the time of the College’s inception in 1982.
The John Paul College teams have won numerous TAS Championships, produced many State and National medallists and in 2006, our Girls’ Open Cross Country team won the National Schools Championship and went on to represent Australia in Italy at The World Schools Cross Country Championships.
Cross Country Squad runs in Terms 1 and 2. The Squad continues in Terms 3 and 4 for those students who wish to continue to develop fitness.
