🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️ CSSA State Cross Country 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️

With fabulous weather and a great atmosphere, 36 Kuyper students aged 8–18 represented our school at the CSSA State Cross Country Championships on Friday at the Sydney International Equestrian Centre, Horsley Park.

Kuyper competed as part of the CSSA Metropolitan West Zone, which brings together athletes from eight schools across the region. Some of our Secondary competitors proudly wore the orange and blue Met-West Zone singlets, representing both their zone and our school.

We were delighted to see so many of our students step up to take part in this event. With almost 20% of eligible students qualifying and competing. Whether achieving a personal best, tackling a challenging course, or cheering on teammates, we congratulate our students for honouring those they competed alongside by striving wholeheartedly themselves.

Special congratulations to Mason for finishing in the top 12% of his age group!

☀️ “The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of His hands.” – Psalm 19:1

This week, our Year 5 & 6 students spent time thinking about something we experience every day, but perhaps do not stop to wonder at often enough — the Sun. 🌎☀️

As part of their Earth and Space unit, students explored just how enormous the Sun is compared to the Earth, and how perfectly positioned our planet is to sustain life. Together, they discussed the remarkable reality that even small changes in the Earth’s position or distance from the Sun would dramatically affect life as we know it.

How wonderful is the majesty, wisdom and power of our Creator!

To bring their learning to life, students even experimented with solar cooking, harnessing the sun’s energy in a hands-on way while enjoying the incredible world God has made for us to explore. 🍫🍪

🏃‍♂️☀️ Cross Country 2026 ☀️🏃‍♀️

Term 2 is always a great time of year for sporting events, and our Whole School Cross Country was no exception. We enjoyed a beautiful sunny day with cool conditions, perfect for competitors, and plenty of encouragement from staff, families, and fellow students.

Competition can be a wonderful experience for children. For some, there is great excitement in the challenge and the thrill of crossing the finish line. For others, events like the cross country can feel quite daunting.

At Kuyper, we want our students to understand that healthy competition is not simply about winning, but about honouring those around us by striving wholeheartedly ourselves and encouraging others to do the same. So, regardless of ability or experience, we were encouraged to see our students step up, persevere, and give their best throughout the day.

We are especially grateful to our senior secondary students for bringing a strong sense of house spirit to the day, displayed not only in their competition, but also in the many ways they served the school community.

Thanks also to the students who used the event as an opportunity to raise funds for Bible League A&NZ Run 4 Bibles initiative, helping provide access to God’s Word for people all around the world.

A HUGE thank you to our Kuyper Community Group parents for supporting the event with a sausage sizzle and helping create such a warm community atmosphere while raising funds for school development projects. You are amazing!

Another altogether wonderful day of Learning in God’s World. What an incredible community to belong to! 💚
