THE changing of the season has brought with it the running of various primary school cross-country events. Mangapapa School held its cross-country at Nelson Park, Central School’s was at Waiteata Park and Ormond kids took on a variety of obstacles in and around their school. Here are a sample of pics from those events. The Mangapapa photos are by Herald chief photographer Paul Rickard, Central’s are by Herald photographer Rebecca Grunwell and Ormond’s were taken by Beth Torrie.
