It was a hot, barmy, Bali day.
Excitement, team spirit and house colours filled the air. It was November 13th, Cross
Country day. Our two fearless PE leaders
Mr Wima and Mr Pasek and their team had been hard at work setting out a
challenging course for Sunrise students.
Students in blue for Legong, green for Topeng, red for Kecak
and yellow for Baris made their way to the back oval to begin the sporting day.
Together, students stretched, got
organised and sat in anticipation of their race.
Small World began the day with a race around the oval. School spirit was high in the air as
students, teachers and parents shouted and chanted for the Small World
students. Each grade continued race
after race, as Sunrise School progressed through the morning. Students started with strength, vigour and
pleasing sportsmanship. They ran through
the rice fields, through the school grounds, around markers, and watched for
teachers’ guidance and support. 
It was a challenging and emotional day as students tried their very best, fell and scraped their knee, slipped in mud, stopped to help friends, and ran as hard, and as fast as they could. Each teacher and parent beamed with pride as students finished their race, their exertion clear to see on sweaty red faces and mud stained clothes. It was truly a great effort.
As the races began to finish and the heat really set in students headed to the Bale-Bale under the guidance of Mr Wima and Mr Pasek to await the all-important point update and trophy winners.
Sitting tired, but satisfied, students and teachers eagerly awaited to hear the winning house. With bated breath Mr Wima began to announce the points and give out the trophies. Kecak was the winning team for cross-country 2015.
