A GROUP of primary school students ran their hearts out recently.

Bundanoon Public School held its cross country carnival at Jordan's Crossing and Oval.

Eight to 10-year-olds ran a 2km course on the day and the 11 to 12-year-olds competed on a 3km track.

Bundanoon Public School's sports co-ordinator Melinda Garard said participation rates were again "very high".

"Having a go, doing your best, scoring points for your house and importantly enjoying the effort and activity are all acknowledged.

"We had another wonderful carnival," she said.

Students who placed first to fifth in their age will compete at the District Cross Country Carnival in early May.
