CROSS COUNTRY

When: Monday 25th March (Week 9) (Postponement date: Monday 8th April)
Time: 9:30am - 12pm 

See the attached document for the approximate times each year group run their race and the course map. 

Students who are keen to compete in the Cross Country will test themselves and/or aim for qualification into the Zone Events (year 4-8 only). We will be encouraging students to push themselves and have a go at this event. Cross Country is an example of something that requires perseverance and promotes physical fitness, something we believe is important. However, we understand that Cross Country is not for everyone, and it is a sticking point for some children and families. In the finishing chute, we will record the first 10 runners for South West Zone cross country (we will determine how many we send to the Zone event based on times). This is not compulsory.

• Year 7&8 - 3 laps of the course - approximately 3km
• Year 5&6 - 2 laps of the course - approximately 2km
• Year 4 - 1 lap of the course - approximately 1km
• Year 1-3 - 1 ½ laps of the top field - approximately 800m

FUN RUN

Time: 2pm - 2:55pm

This is a whole school event and will follow on after the Cross Country. This race is about incorporating a run and having fun. It’s about getting involved, participating, the kids supporting each other and having a go. This event can provide an opportunity to explore physical activity outside; to balance, crawl, jump, climb; to encounter physical obstacles and overcome them.

Children are encouraged to bring a light coloured shirt that they don’t mind getting dirty, wet or dyed, along with a towel and a change of clothes. We will not be providing these at school.
