“The incredible support of the local community has exceeded all expectations. Businesses and clubs came out in force as local companies sponsored generously to support our school. I would like to thank everyone who contributed to the event and our local community for all their continued support. We are very grateful to Molly Scott who is always on hand to support St Joseph’s NS and this year was no exception as she encouraged every student to enjoy and complete the race. All funds raised go directly back into the school for much-needed equipment and resources.” said Maria Barron, principal of St Joseph’s NS.
