Cross Country up and running

The Flavahans Primary School Cross Country is officially up and running for 2025/2026!

26 pupils across P5-P7 from HPS enjoyed taking part in Round 1 at Londonderry Park yesterday. It was a great opportunity to have fun, get active and meet and race pupils from other schools.

The weather was wet and wild but that didn’t dampen the spirits of all the runners who did wonderfully!

A huge thank you to all the parents who transported the children and well done again to all our runners!

Special mention to Jessica who finished an amazing 3rd place in the Girls Fun Run and came away with a medal!

Cross Country comes to a close

On Monday 20 pupils across P5-P7 took part in the final round of the Flavahan’s Primary School Cross Country Competition in the Down area.

Round 3 took place at Londonderry Park in Newtownards on what was a relativey flat course compared to recents rounds with a total running distance of 1400 metres. There were lots of smiles as everyone enjoyed keeping fit and connecting with friends on what was another great day out.

A massive well done to all participants in this years Cross Country League! A big thank you again to Mrs Crowe who was the school representative and to all the parents for their help and support. We look forward to many more athletics events in the months ahead.
