Get ready for the Year 3-6 Cross Country, starting at 9am in Moore Park on Tuesday 22nd April. That's Day 1 of Term 2!! We're looking forward to favourable weather.
Students should be in their classrooms by 8:55 am for roll marking. They will then walk with their class to Moore Park. All participating students will follow a teacher who will lead them around the courses.
Course maps and order of events have been emailed to parents. Spectators are asked to wait at Moore Park for the event to begin.
The 1km Fun Run is for all students. Each participant will earn points for their house.
Division 1 events are for competitive runners capable and experienced at running the relevant distances, those aiming for Age Champions (all ages) and those interested in trailling for District competitions (2012-2015 age groups only).
Reminders for students:
- Students are encouraged to wear a shirt with their house colour (Oxley – red, Cook – green, Flinders – yellow) with appropriate running shoes (no spikes or bare feet).
- Wearing a hat is optional during the race but must be worn when not running.
- Bring a named water bottle to Moore Park.
- Apply sunscreen prior to arriving at school and reapply throughout the morning.
- Put on their coloured wrist band and ensure they have their ID number on their wristband when participating in the competitive races (Division 1).
- Students are strongly encouraged to use the bathroom facilities before they leave school – we want to avoid students using the public facilities in Moore Park.
