On Friday 27 March 2026, Claver held its annual Inter-House Cross Country Carnival and it did not disappoint.
An afternoon of House spirit and sportsmanship prevailed and saw Chisholm House take out the title of 2026 Inter-House Cross Country Carnival Champions.
Perfect and mild weather conditions saw students enthusiastically run, jog and walk the track, all in the name of points for their respective Houses.
Upon completion of the Cross Country course, students and Houses came together to participate in our first Water Relay, raising money, support and awareness for Project Compassion. Students also had the opportunity to dedicate their walk or run to Project Compassion – setting up dedicated fundraising pages and getting sponsorship for their participation.
To round out the afternoon, Houses went head-to-head in a tug-of-war competition with Fisher House claiming ultimate victory.
Jarrod Hollands, Program Leader – Co-curricular Sport, said the carnival was a standout success, with record numbers turning out across the event – especially the 3km run.
“A huge thank you to everyone who helped make the day run so well. The level of involvement was outstanding and students are to be commended for the positivity, teamwork and House pride they showed throughout the afternoon. Congratulations to all,” Mr Hollands said.
The third and final Claver Inter-House Carnival for 2026 will be our Athletics Carnival on Friday, 12 June 2026.
